Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church dating from the early 13th century, with substantial restoration work undertaken in 1884-85. It is constructed of regular lias and limestone with ashlar dressings, covered by lead and tiled roofs. The church comprises an aisled nave, a chancel, and a west tower.

The chancel is a single-window range with 2-light, square-headed windows. The east window is a 19th-century addition with 3 lights and cusped roundels in the tracery. The south aisle and vestry have a 4-window range, featuring tall 3-light windows—those at the ends have square heads, and one has Perpendicular tracery, while the others have 4-centred and segmental heads. There are 3-light east and west windows in the south aisle. A priest door, positioned to the right, showcases a 12th-century semi-circular arch head. A porch, located between the first and second windows on the south side, features a 14th-century chamfered arch and a gabled roof with ashlar parapets and a finial. The north aisle, restored in the 19th century, has a 2-window range with one square-headed and one pointed window. The east and west windows are similar, with 2 lights. An octagonal chimney is situated in the north-east corner, with a lean-to roof. A 20th-century octagonal extension adjoins the north aisle. The nave clerestory, dating back to approximately 1470, has a 3-window range of 2-light windows with 4-centred heads. The west tower has undergone 19th-century restoration, featuring three stages and a 2-light, ogee-headed window on the west face of the first stage. There are 2-light bell chamber openings on each face of the third stage, along with 3-stage clasping buttresses. A polygonal stair turret, attached to the north side, extends to the first and second stages. The broach spire is constructed of ashlar limestone with two stages of lucarnes.

Inside, a 19th-century double-chamfered chancel arch is present. The 3-bay nave arcade consists of early 13th-century double-chamfered pointed arches, supported by circular piers, circular abaci, and keeled responds. A 13th-century triple-chamfered tower arch also exists. Two 14th-century tomb recesses are found in the north aisle, and one in the south. The church has 19th-century roofs and stained glass in three chancel windows. Monuments include a monument to George Buswell (died 1632) featuring a frontal demi-figure, and monuments to John Buswell (died 1659) with a white marble bust, Sir George Buswell (died 1668) with a bust in the centre, and Eusebius Buswell (died 1730) with a heraldic device. A monument to Hester Buswell (died 1706) features an urn with two standing puttii. A tombchest with macabre symbols commemorates Elizabeth Buswell (died 1636). Various 18th and 19th-century inscribed tablets are also present. A datestone marked 'F.T. 1588' sits above the chancel arch. A circular font, likely from the 12th century, and a 19th-century font are also part of the furnishings. Elizabethan screens separate the south chapel and the west tower, displaying open low arches and carved panelling. A parish chest is located in the vestry. Stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops are a notable feature.
