Church Of St Mary And All Saints

The Church of St Mary and All Saints is a church dating from the 13th century, with additions and alterations in the 14th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of squared coursed lias with ashlar dressings, and has lead and slate roofs. The church consists of an aisled nave, a chancel, and a west tower.

The chancel has a two-window range of 3-light square-headed windows on its south elevation. The east window is a 3-light 19th-century design with rounded tracery. A 19th-century vestry and organ chamber are set into the north side of the chancel, beneath a gabled roof with ashlar parapets. The south aisle is similarly two-windowed, with a porch between the windows. The window to the left of the porch is 19th century, while the window to the right is a 14th-century three-light square-headed design. The east window of the south aisle matches this style. A lean-to roof extends over the aisle, featuring castellated ashlar parapets. The gabled porch has a triple chamfered arch and a double stepped south door arch. Roof beams within the porch are dated RH/l671/1.K. I.B. The north aisle also has two windows: a 3-light window with reticulated tracery and a 2-light window with Y-tracery. A blocked door with a double chamfered arch sits between the windows, and a 2-light window with Y-tracery is located in the west wall. The south nave clerestory has a four-window range of 2-light square headed windows; the north clerestory is similar.

The west tower is of three stages, with flat buttresses to the first and second stages. It has a 2-light window in the first stage and 2-light decorated bell chamber openings with transoms on each face of the third stage. The tower is topped with castellated ashlar parapets and gargoyles at the corners.

Inside, the chancel has a double chamfered arch leading to the vestry and organ chamber. The nave has a decorated arcade of double chamfered arches supported by short piers of clustered shafts. It also features a double chamfered chancel arch and a tall, double chamfered tower arch. A 3-light window opening in the north aisle has reticulated tracery and is open to the vestry beyond. The chancel roof is a plain, plastered 19th-century design, while the nave roof is shallow and also 19th century. Stained glass is present in all chancel windows, the south aisle windows, and the bellfry window.

Wall paintings, likely dating from the 14th century, are located at the west end of the south aisle, and possibly depict the Ascension, Pentecost, the Coronation of the Virgin, and the Incredulity of St. Thomas. Near the south door is a depiction of the resurrection. In the north aisle are images of St. Thomas Becket and St. Catherine before the Emperor. Faded depictions of saints are found in the window splays of the north aisle, along with scroll decoration to the arches.

Monuments include a memorial to Rev. Edward Halles, who died in 1715, and other members of the Halles family. A tablet commemorating Frances Maria Montgomery, who died in 1794, stands to the right of the altar, alongside four mid-19th century tablets for the Montgomery family. A plain tablet commemorates B. Drage, who died in 1797, and a hatchment dated AR/1711 is also present. A font dated 1889 may incorporate a medieval bowl.
