Description
The Church of All Saints is a church dating from 1767 to 1770, with an addition constructed in 1913. It was designed by Thomas Atkinson of York for Francis Cholmeley and restored in 1905 by Temple Moore, with a porch added by H Rutherford. The church is built of ashlar sandstone featuring herringbone tooling, and is roofed with stone slate. It comprises a nave, a 'crossing' with a tower, and a chancel, all in a single three-bay range.
The south side features an added flat-roofed porch with a vestry behind. The porch has a door of eight-panelled, leafy oak in an architrave, a band below the parapet and three flat-headed windows within architraves on its west side. A white brick chimney is located near the left corner of the main building. The main church facade has a plinth and three round-arched windows; the central window has a Gibbs surround and corbels below its sill, with square corbels below the cornice which contain a gutter. The roof is hipped, with a central tower featuring an oculus and paired brackets to the cornice, surmounted by a cupola of eight round-arched openings with three-quarter columns at the angles, a Doric frieze, a stone dome, a ball finial, and a weather-vane. The east end features a Venetian window, and below it, six memorial tablets are mounted on the wall, commemorating members of the Wiley family. The north side mirrors the south, but the central window is blind, with the outer two windows having Gibbs surrounds.
Inside the porch, there are six-panelled, leafy doors in an architrave leading to an inner vestibule. A small font sits on a fluted column. A two-panelled fielded door gives access to the vestry. Stained glass by T Kempe is in the west window. An original church entrance is now secured by a wrought-iron gate within a richly detailed architrave surmounted by a cornice on brackets. The interior crossing features a groin vault supported on four Roman Doric columns; beneath the vault is an oak pulpit from 1905 by Temple Moore. The chancel contains Commandment Boards and hatchments belonging to the Cholmeley family. A west gallery is supported on two fluted octagonal columns and features a front of fielded panels. Various brass chandeliers are also present. An inscription within the dome reads: "This church built Anno Domini 1767 by Francis Cholmeley Esqre; Thomas Atkinson, Architect; Richard Scurr, Mason."
