Church of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a church dating to the late 12th to early 13th centuries, with additions and alterations spanning several periods. It was largely rebuilt in the late 1860s by J.L. Pearson, and the south aisle was rebuilt in 1823. The building is constructed of sandstone ashlar, with some areas in hammered sandstone, and has slate roofs.

The church comprises a west tower, a four-bay aisled nave, and a chancel. The three-stage west tower has an offset plinth, chamfered string courses, and diagonal buttresses. It features a pointed west doorway consisting of three orders and a headstopped hoodmould. Above the doorway is a three-light Perpendicular window, and two-light pointed bell openings to the third stage, also with headstopped hoodmoulds. The tower is topped with battlements pierced with quatrefoils, flowing tracery, and a corbel table of fleurons and masks. Carved waterspouts are located on the north and south sides, and a small, grotesque figure is set into the masonry.

The nave aisles incorporate a rebuilt south aisle wall on a square plinth, which includes a 12th-century arched doorway with slim shafts, chevron moulding, ballflower detail, and a hoodmould with headstops. Two square-headed Perpendicular-style windows are also present in the south aisle. Heraldic shields from a demolished south porch are incorporated into the south aisle’s masonry, one bearing the date 1817. The north aisle has a centrally located pointed-arched door and two square-headed Perpendicular windows with renewed tracery.

The chancel sits on a chamfered plinth and features geometrical windows to the south and north, alongside an original blocked priest's door to the north. The east window is a three-light Geometrical design with a chamfered sill band. Coped gables and plain kneelers finish the roofline.

Inside, the tall pointed tower arch has a corbelled inner order and a hoodmould on carved figure stops. An ogee-arched doorway leads to the tower stair. The north and south arcades consist of double-chamfered pointed arches on cylindrical piers with crocket capitals and octagonal abaci. A late 13th-century square font has inset corner colonnettes. A hatchment of George II from 1734 is affixed to the south wall of the tower. Fragments of 15th-century stained glass, including part of a Saint Christopher, are within the east window of the south aisle. A brass memorial is dedicated to John Carter, Rector of the Church, who died in 1666. A monument to Henry Masterman (died 1769) and his wife (died 1768), featuring an inscription panel and urn in high relief against an obelisk, is by the Fishers of York.
