Description
The Church of All Saints is a church that dates back to the 12th century, with alterations from the 15th century and a restoration and extension completed in 1911. It is constructed from limestone, sandstone, gritstone rubble, and ashlar, topped with a roof of stone slate and plain tiles. The church features a four-bay nave, a south porch, and a north aisle, along with a two-bay chancel that has a vestry to the north.
On the west side, there is a two-light square-headed window from 1427, located beneath a blocked arch of an earlier window. A bellcote was added in 1911. Notable features include fragments of a 13th-century floriate cross grave slab incorporated into the wall. The nave has 19th-century two-light windows on either side of the 1911 timber-framed porch, which contains a 12th-century door with two moulded orders and a richly carved medallion hoodmould supported by beakheads. The left shaft is fluted and has scalloped capitals with square abaci. The medallions depict various scenes, including beasts, David with a harp, and the Last Supper.
In the chancel, there is a priests' door and a lancet window to the south, with an east window from 1911 designed in the Decorated style. Inside, the church features a 12th-century circular font on a pillar and a 12th-century pillar piscina with a small square fluted bowl on a cable-moulded necking, set on an octagonal stem adorned with chevron ornamentation. Additionally, there are two 12th-century acoustic pots set into the chancel walls. A bronze memorial commemorates Sydney Smith, who served as rector from 1809 to 1829.
