Description

The Church of All Saints is an Anglican parish church built in 1861 by C.E. Giles. It is constructed from coursed and squared lias stone with Ham stone dressings, featuring banded plain tile roofs with crested ridges and coped verges topped with cruciform finials. The church is designed in a plain "High Victorian" Early English style and includes a nave, chancel, a south vestry, and a north tower made of larch.

The tower has a square base that rises to an octagonal bell-chamber, which supports a tiled spire with a wrought-iron finial. Each face of the bell-chamber has a single-light bell opening, while the ground floor features a broad door opening to the north with a shifted surround of two orders of polychromatic voussoirs made of white lias and Ham stone. The church has a three-bay nave and a two-bay chancel, with lancet windows, some paired and others with simple tracery in the form of cusping and quatrefoils. The east window is a triple-light with plate tracery, and the chancel features a libel with large carved floral stops.

Inside, the church has plastered walls and flagstone floors, with encaustic tiles in the chancel. The nave is supported by a simple scissor-beam roof, while the chancel has an unceiled wagon roof. The interior includes contemporary fittings such as pews, choir stalls, altar rails, a stone reredos with painted decoration, a pulpit, and a lectern. Notable features include a Norman tub font with cable banding, two Jacobean coffin stools, and an 18th-century chest that has been reused from an earlier church that once stood in the village. The east window contains the only stained glass, dating from around 1861, and there is a wall monument dedicated to the First World War, along with a very faded achievement set in the porch.
