Description
The Church of All Saints is a church that dates back to the 13th century, with work from the 14th and 15th centuries. The chancel was added in 1843 during a restoration of the church, which was re-seated in 1869 and received a new roof in 1883. The building is constructed from coursed squared ironstone and features plain tile roofs, except for a lead roof over the south aisle.
The church consists of a one-bay chancel, a nave, a south aisle, and a west porch. The chancel has a three-light Perpendicular style east window with a hood mould, diagonal offset buttresses, a chamfered plinth, and a stone-coped gable with kneelers. The nave includes a three-light Perpendicular window on the north-east side, a blocked chamfered north door, and a two-light Decorated window on the north-west side, all featuring hood moulds. The south clerestory has three small two-light windows with straight heads, pointed trefoil heads to the lights, and cut spandrels.
In the south aisle, there is a two-light Decorated east window and two three-light chamfered stone mullion windows on the south side, all with hood moulds. The aisle also has quoins, a chamfered plinth, a stone bench to the west, and chamfered stone eaves. The west porch features a chamfered doorway with a four-centred head and hood mould, along with a chamfered west door inside that also has a hood mould. Above the porch, there is a single chamfered lancet window at the west end of the nave and a bell-cote on the west gable. The north side has angle buttresses between the bays, a chamfered plinth, moulded stone eaves, and stone-coped gables with kneelers.
Inside, the nave has a three-bay north arcade supported by circular piers with capitals and chamfered arches, with the chamfer continuing to the east and west ends. A blocked north door features a round-headed arch on the inside. There is an octagonal stone font dated 1843, which has a carved stem and bowl in an archaic style, with various arms carved on the sides of the bowl, including the Royal Arms in lozenge. Additionally, there are ceramic 19th-century tablets displaying the Lord's Prayer and the Creed.
Historically, the church was formerly a chapelry of Canons Ashby and was served until the Reformation by monks from Canons Ashby Priory.
