Description
The Church of All Saints, along with its churchyard wall, railings, and gates, is a parish church built between 1868 and 1876 by architect E.G. Paley. It is constructed from snecked sandstone and features a slate roof. The church is designed in the Early English style and includes a north porch, nave, north aisle, transceptal south tower, and chancel.
The north porch is made of wood and has a tiled roof, with a two-centre head, traceried bargeboards, and two-leaf doors. The nave consists of four bays and has two two-light windows with two-centre heads and quatrefoils, as well as one three-light and one two-light window, both featuring sexfoils. There is a four-light trefoil-headed window in the north vestry. The south transceptal tower has three stages, with large angle buttresses on the southwest corner and clasping buttresses on the southeast. It includes a single-light lancet window in the first and second stages on the west side, and two single-light lancets in the belfry, topped with two quatrefoils; it also has a corbel table and a splay-footed spire. The chancel has a two-light lancet window with a hoodmould and decorated stops on both the north and south sides. The east window is stepped and consists of three lights with trefoil heads, along with two small sexfoil windows above the side lights and a large nonofoil window above the centre light, all featuring a hoodmould.
Inside, the arcade that separates the nave from the north aisle has stiff-leafed capitals that are now blind, with a glazed screen added around 1970. The chancel arch is of a two-centre design. The nave features an exposed king-post roof, while the chancel has stone quadripartite rib-vaulting. There is a piscina to the north and two sedilia to the south in the chancel. A low wall to the north of the church, which fronts the cross, is adorned with iron railings in a gridiron pattern and has low, double iron gates leading to the north porch. These gates incorporate two bands of pierced trefoils, along with a similarly designed single iron gate at the low east wall.
