Description

The Church of All Saints is a parish church featuring a Perpendicular tower from the 14th century, with the nave, chancel, and south porch dating from the mid-18th century, and a restoration in the 19th century. The building is constructed of squared and coursed rubble topped with a tile roof. The west tower has diagonal buttresses, an embattled parapet with corner pinnacles, and two large gargoyles on each side. The bell chamber windows are of two lights on the north and south sides, with a two-light window on the west.

The nave consists of two bays with segmental-headed openings and a small oval light in the south-west corner near the tower. A memorial plaque from 1712 to Mary Gane is incorporated into the south wall. The chancel also has two bays with smaller segmental-headed openings, a priest's door on the south side beneath a pointed arch, and a three-light decorated window on the east. The porch, dated 1751, features a segmental-headed inner door opening. Inside, the nave has a king post roof and contains a scraped Norman tub font and an 18th-century pulpit. There is a triple chamfered arch leading to the tower, which holds a memorial plaque from 1704. The chancel has a simple wagon roof.
