All Saints Episcopal Church, Challoch

All Saints Episcopal Church in Challoch was built in 1871-1872 by W G Habershon and A R Pite, of London, Newport and Monmouth. It is an Early English style church, with an aisleless design incorporating a chancel, vestry, and two porches. The exterior is constructed of squared whinstone with red sandstone ashlar dressings, featuring chamfered reveals. Details include a base course, string and impost courses, set-off buttresses with saw-tooth ashlar coping, and lancet windows. Hoodmoulds with label stops adorn the east and west windows and the north doorway. The gables are finished with ashlar detailing and decorative stone cross finials.

The nave has four bays on both the north and south elevations, each with lancet windows. A gabled timber porch, built on a stone base course, is situated on the south elevation, slightly off-centre to the left, featuring timber mullions, transoms, cusping detail, a two-leaf boarded door, and a steeply pitched roof. A large, three-light plate traceried window is in the west gable, complemented by a trio of blind arrowslits in the gablehead. Steps lead down to a crypt.

The chancel adjoins the nave at the east end. A large pointed arch window with plate tracery defines the eastern facade, with a blind arrowslit cross above. The return elevations have two bays; the south side has a lancet window in the left bay and a blank bay to the right. The north elevation incorporates an M-gabled porch and a projecting vestry, the latter with a larger gable. Angle buttresses support the porch on the left, leading to stone steps and a pointed arch doorway with a blind cross arrowslit. Paired lancets are positioned on the eastern return. The vestry features a plate traceried pointed arch window with a dated ribbon carving above and a crocketed stone finial.

A leaded, pyramidal fleche serves as a bellcote at the crossing, incorporating a louvred timber opening at its base and a decorative foliate finial. The porches have windows with leaded diamond-pane glass, and some original stained glass remains. Stone brackets support the overhanging eaves. The roofs are red tiled, with fishscale bands and clay ridge ornament, complemented by ashlar coped skews.

Inside, the church retains its original fittings. The walls are cream ashlar, with a decoratively tiled area at the centre, and an open timber roof to the nave supported by nook-shafted corbels, hand-turned tie-beams, and queen posts. The chancel features a barrel-vaulted and coffered ceiling with stencil decoration and fleuron bosses. Nook-shafts flank the window embrasures. A pointed chancel arch has a hoodmould. An octagonal font (from 1872) and a pulpit with marble colonnettes are present, along with a decorative wrought-iron and brass lectern (also from 1872), railings, and a chancel overthrow. Forked brass candlesticks remain within the pews. The timber communion rail features scrolled foliate wrought-iron posts with gilding and is adorned with Minton tiles near the reredos. A tripartite, gabled and cusped reredos, with marble colonnettes and stencilled decoration stands against the east wall. Further details include a bipartite pointed arch sedilia with marble nook-shafts, and an organ by Harston and Son, of Newark on Trent. Stained glass depicts Our Lady blessing children with Scottish Saints in the east window, and "Benedicite Omnia Opera" in the west window, created by a French artist. A hooded ashlar chimneypiece is built into the timber-boarded vestry. The surrounding land features rubble and squared whinstone boundary walls, stepping at intervals with saddleback red sandstone capping. Ashlar gatepiers at the east corner, and a northeastern pier, have gabled caps and a trefoil motif.
