Description

The Church of All Saints is a Grade II* listed church located on Church Lane in Pitsford. It dates back to the 12th and 14th centuries, with a general restoration carried out in 1863 by Slater and Carpenter. The church is built from squared coursed lias and features stone slate and lead roofs. It has an aisled nave, a chancel, and a west tower.

The chancel has a two-window range of two-light windows with geometrical tracery, while the east window is a similar three-light design. The gabled roof is adorned with ashlar gable parapets, kneelers, corbels, and a finial block. The south aisle features a four-window range of two-light windows with reticulated tracery, likely from the 19th century, along with similar three-light windows on the east and west sides. It has an ashlar parapet and a lean-to roof. The 19th-century gabled south porch, which has a finial between the first and second windows from the left, contains a 12th-century doorway with shafts and zig-zag decoration. The tympanum above depicts St. George and the Dragon, symbolizing faith fighting evil.

The north aisle mirrors the south aisle with a three-window range of two-light windows featuring reticulated tracery, probably from the 19th century, and C14 east and west windows with three and two lights, respectively. It also has ashlar gable parapets and a lean-to lead roof. The nave has a gabled roof with an ashlar parapet and a finial, and the short west tower has two-light bell openings on each face, flanked by single cusped lancets on the north and south sides, topped with a plain ashlar parapet.

Inside, the nave arcade consists of five bays from the 19th century, featuring chamfered arches and quatrefoil piers with foliated capitals carved by Gillet of Leicester. The chancel arch is similar, while the tower arch is a triple-chamfered design from the 14th century. The interior includes carved corbels with saints' emblems and a detached shaft above that supports a 19th-century collar trussed roof with curved braces. There is also a stained glass window, a 14th-century arched tomb recess in the north aisle, and various late 18th and early 19th-century inscribed tablets above. The north aisle contains a piscina with an ogee head and a 14th-century octagonal font with flat gables.
