Church of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a simple, lancet-style church constructed of rubble stone with dressed details and a slate roof, dating to the 19th century. The church comprises an aisled nave and a narrower chancel, both under a single roof. A gabled bellcote stands on the west side. A lean-to porch is attached to the west wall, positioned below the four-stepped lancet window. The porch contains doorways on both the north and south sides, both 2-centred with chamfers and lacking capitals; a false boarded door is on the north side. The west doorway to the nave is also 2-centred with chamfer and broach stops, and has double boarded doors secured with strap hinges.

The south aisle has six lancet windows, with a single lancet in the east wall. The chancel’s south wall has two lancets and a foundation stone laid by Lord Mostyn. The east window is composed of three stepped lancets. On the north side, where the ground level is lower, is a single lancet above an added lean-to with a boarded door on its left side. The north aisle mirrors the south aisle in window design.

The nave is broad and features three-bay arcades to the narrow aisles, exhibiting an architectural style characteristic of Street. The 2-centred arches are defined by rock-faced voussoirs and stand on round piers with moulded capitals. The nave has a three-bay roof with tie beams and a plastered underside. The chancel roof utilizes scissor-braced trusses, which have a boarded underside. The chancel also contains a roll-moulded sill band and an arched doorway to the north vestry, fitted with a boarded door.

The font features a square bowl with a rounded underside, set upon a moulded octagonal stem. The church has simple pews and a polygonal pulpit. The chancel includes a plain panelled reredos.

The east window, dated 1889 and possibly designed by Cox, Buckley & Co, contains stained glass depicting Christ as the Light of the World, together with the symbols of the Evangelists. Three windows in the south aisle are by William Glasby of London, depicting Christ as the Good Shepherd and the Virgin Mary (dated 1924), and an Archangel (dated 1929). A window in the north aisle, dated 1951 and by Kenneth Bunton, portrays St John the Evangelist.
