Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a church dating back to the 13th and 14th centuries, with a 19th-century restoration. It is constructed of regular coursed and ashlar lias stone with lead roofs. The church comprises an aisled nave, a double south aisle, a chancel, and a west tower.

The chancel’s south side features a two-window range with 2- and 3-light windows, the left window being 19th century. A south chapel projection has a 19th-century three-light square-headed window and a 3-light west window with a segmental arch. The chancel's north side has a single 3-light Perpendicular window flanked by slender buttresses, with extensive cusping, quatrefoils, and shields on the buttresses and wall below. The east window is of 3 lights with Reticulated tracery. The south outer aisle features a three-window range of 3-light windows, one with a square head and the others with segmental heads; it has a gabled roof with ashlar gable parapets. The south porch has an ogee-headed outer arch with three orders of ball flowers and fleurons. The west elevation of the south aisle has a two-window range of 3-light windows, one with a concave soffit. The north aisle has a three-window range of 3-light windows with plain segmental heads. A double chamfered arch provides access to the north, and a 19th-century three-light square-headed window and a 2-light window are located in the north chapel. The nave clerestory has a four-window range of 2-light windows, with a single 4-light window to the east of the north elevation. The west tower has four stages with clasping buttresses to the lower three stages; a 2-light Perpendicular window is in the second stage with a niche above, and 2-light Perpendicular bell-chamber openings with transoms and cusping. A castellated parapet tops the tower.

Inside, the church features double-chamfered arches with octagonal piers and a triple-chamfered tower arch. The chancel has a flat plastered ceiling, and the nave has a shallow 19th-century roof with a plastered underside. A sedilia to the south of the chancel has nodding ogee arches. A monument to John Dycson, rector from 1439 to 1445, includes an alabaster effigy on a low tomb chest with quatrefoils, a low segmental arch, and flanking buttresses decorated with small niches. This monument reflects the external Perpendicular decorative features. A marble tablet by William Cox senior commemorates Thomas Rumpin, who died in 1770, and is located to the left of the south chapel arch, featuring a cherub and armorial device. A further marble tablet commemorates Thomas Wills, who died in 1774, in the south chapel, and includes curved sides. A memorial to John Watkin, who died in 1772, is located in the chancel, featuring an oval tablet with an armorial device. Various other 19th-century marble tablets are also present. Bench ends, likely from the 16th century, are carved with Gothic tracery.
