Church of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church dating back to approximately 1300. A north aisle was originally built around this time, followed by a tower in the late 13th and early 14th centuries. The church was restored in 1851-52, and the porch and chancel were rebuilt, along with the addition of a vestry, in 1866. It is constructed of squared and coursed sandstone with Ham stone dressings, and has slate roofs, with patterned slate on the vestry and coped verges.

The church comprises a west tower, a three-bay nave, a three-bay north aisle, a south porch, a north-east vestry, and a chancel. The crenellated three-stage tower has set-back buttresses, a string course with gargoyles, and a deep plinth. It features two-light mullioned and transomed louvred bell openings, a clock and an empty canopied niche on the south face, a pointed moulded arch, and a west door with a 19th-century door. A crenellated north-east stair turret is present. The south face of the nave has a single two-light window to the left of a 19th-century single-storey gabled porch with setback buttresses, a moulded arched entrance and a 19th-century ribbed door. Two-light windows are set into the returns of the porch, and stepped buttresses support the chancel. A lancet window is located to the left of the priest’s door, with a two-light window to the right, and a three-light east window. The vestry has a three-light east window and a short circular chimney. The north front features paired lancets, while the north aisle has a decorative pierced parapet, three two-light windows set between stepped buttresses, and a three-light west window.

Inside, the church is rendered. A pointed 19th-century chancel arch is present, along with a tower arch, chamfered in three orders dying into imposts, which is now partially closed by a 20th-century part-glazed screen. The north aisle arcade has octagonal piers with double-chamfered arches. The north aisle has a good ribbed and cambered roof, the nave has an arch-braced roof, and the chancel possesses a scissor truss, all dating to the 19th century. A handsome three-by-five bay rood screen with double doors is a notable feature; it bears the name of Ralph Harris, the Churchwarden (who died in 1509). Above the screen is a rood group, installed in 1896. A finely carved alabaster and black slate wall tablet with gilded lettering, swags and drops, and a console, memorializes Jacob Prowse, who died in 1672 and features thirteen lines of Latin text from Homer's Iliad. Three hatchments are also present, including a later one dedicated to Sir John Slade of Monty's Court, who died in 1859. A 20th-century carved pulpit and 19th-century brass chandeliers, complete with glass mantels, are also within the church.

The tower contains a collection of bell ringing achievements from 1900 to 1914. A 19th-century stained glass east window, dated 1855, is also present. An octagonal font and some 16th-century bench ends can be found within the building. The southwest corner of the churchyard is locally believed to have been a burial ground for gypsies.
