Description

The Parish Church of All Saints is a church built in 1909, designed by Woolfall & Eccles of Liverpool. It is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and has plain tile roofs. The nave and chancel are covered by a single continuous roof, with a fleche indicating the division between the two. The church features a south porch and a south vestry.

At the east end, there is a single 5-light plate tracery window set in a pointed arched surround, with a tall central lancet flanked by cinquefoils. Below this window is a foundation stone inscribed: "To the Glory of God, Louisa Pullen laid this stone; July 8th AD 1909." The north front has a slightly set back chancel with a single lancet window. The nave has south-facing windows, with the central three consisting of pairs of lancets, while the outer windows are single lancets, all separated by buttresses.

The west front features two lancets and a central upper trefoil, along with an ashlar band and a brick chimney stack to the right. The south front has a single lancet to the right, followed by a projecting gabled porch with a pointed arched entrance, flanking buttresses, and inner double doors. To the left are two pairs of lancets divided by buttresses and a single lancet beyond. The projecting gabled vestry includes a small south window in a pointed arched opening, a doorway to the west, and a single flat-headed window to the east.

The roof is topped by a hexagonal wooden fleche or spire covered with shingles. The bell stage has an open louvred section with a bell canted spire above, finished with an iron weather vane. Inside, the church features a boarded wooden roof with exposed trusses, contemporary wooden pews, an altar, altar rail, reredos, choir stalls, a lectern, an octagonal pulpit, and an organ to the west with painted lead organ pipes. The church also contains a 12th-century stone font with a chamfered base and a circular bowl decorated with a zig-zag pattern, sourced from the church within St Mary's Churchyard.
