Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is an Anglican parish church with origins dating back to the 12th or 13th century. The building largely comprises 14th and 15th-century fabric, with a north transept added in 1833 and substantial rebuilding between 1874 and 1886. It is constructed of ham stone, with some coursed rubble and ashlar dressings, and has Welsh slate roofs with stone slate base courses. The church follows a three-cell plan, incorporating a two-bay chancel, a three-bay nave, and a north transept, along with a south porch and a western bell turret.

The chancel has a chamfered plinth and angled corner buttresses, and features a two-light east window dating back to around 1300, without a label. It contains two lancets on the south side and one on the north, with a slight projection in the north-west corner revealing a former rood stair with a small rectangular light. The nave displays offset corner buttresses and 3-light 'Y' traceried windows on each side, accompanied by curlstop labels. A small pointed-segmental-arched lancet is situated to the west of the porch on the south side. The west wall has a mid-19th-century 2-light traceried window, topped with a simple 19th-century bell turret housing two small bells.

The south porch presents a plain design with a chamfered outer arch and an early 19th-century timber gate topped with spikes. Inside the porch are simple stone bench seats, and the east wall incorporates the headstone of a 12th-century window with incised radial lines. The north transept features 3-light 'Y' traceried windows mirroring the nave, a pointed-arched doorway in the north gable under a curlstop label, and a former gallery doorway with a flight of 10 stone steps and a wrought iron handrail on the west side.

The interior showcases work from various periods. The chancel has a segmental-arched ribbed vaulted ceiling, possibly of the 17th or 18th century, with two blanked-off statue niches containing plain 4-centre-arched heads in the east wall. A doorway leads to the former rood loft stair in the north wall, and the chancel arch is simply chamfered and almost triangular. The nave has a segmental barrel-vault ceiling and unplastered walls below window cill level. A late 18th/early 19th-century gallery occupies the west end. The north transept has a full-width quasi-4-centred arch and a barrel-vaulted ceiling with a similar profile, with a gallery that was removed in 1958.

Notable fittings include an 18th-century communion rail, two 17th-century chancel chairs, a plain octagonal font on an octagonal base, possibly dating back to the 13th century, and a chancel screen created in 1957 by A.F. Erridge. Memorials comprise an incised and painted lias stone slab dedicated to George Sampson, who died in 1724, set behind the pulpit, and two early 19th-century memorials to members of the Templeman family. Chancel windows date from 1868 and 1897, the latter being of high quality. Stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops are also present.
