Description
The Church of All Saints is a church built between 1780 and 1781, featuring a 14th-century north transept and restored in 1872 by G. E. Street. It is constructed from coursed gritstone with some ashlar and has a stone slate roof. The church includes a west tower, a nave, and a south aisle with three bays, a central porch, a north transept, and a two-bay chancel.
The three-stage tower has offset diagonal buttresses, a Perpendicular window, an inscription dating to 1781, a sundial, a battlemented parapet, and crocketted finials. The nave porch, made of ashlar, features an arched opening with a dripmould and an open corniced gable pediment. The flanking two-light windows have paired pointed arches, plain architraves, and sills, along with offset buttresses and a battlemented parapet.
On the north wall, there are two early 14th-century windows with plate tracery; the western window is heavily restored, and below it is a blocked north doorway with a round head, which may be Saxon. The north transept has a west window with a trefoil-headed lancet, a north window with three lights and intersecting tracery, and an east window with two lights and decorated tracery. The early stonework in the north walls has been extensively retooled. The chancel features an east window with three lights and Perpendicular tracery, diagonal buttresses, a battlemented parapet, and crocketted corner finials. The interior was heavily restored in 1872.
