Description

All Saints' Church is a notable structure with a fairly free architectural style that incorporates some 14th-century detailing, reminiscent of the later work of the Austin & Paley practice. The church is built from red sandstone blocks that feature horizontal tooling and are arranged in courses, with smaller, narrower blocks interspersed. It has a tiled roof topped with an iron crucifix finial at the east end and a bellcote housing three bells over the chancel arch. The east end is polygonal, with a projecting porch to the north and a large vestry to the south. The exterior includes stepped buttresses adorned with blind tracery detailing, as well as carved heads and grotesques at the eaves, while the porch is gabled. The chancel windows are flat-headed and exhibit 14th-century style tracery, alongside other windows featuring various historical styles of tracery.

Surrounding the church is a red sandstone crenellated churchyard wall and a lych gate.

Internally, the church is aisless with a barrel-vaulted roof in both the nave and chancel. The chancel roof features painted and stencilled designs and texts in gold, black, and green. There is a wide chancel arch, with steps leading up to the chancel, which has a floor made of encaustic tiles and further steps leading up to the altar.

Furnishings within the church include a stone font with a marble stem located at the west end, an oak pulpit on a sandstone base on the north side of the chancel arch, oak pews, and an oak chancel screen that features a rood and open arcading with ironwork by Worrall. The church also has ornate carved choir furnishings, an organ by H.H. Whitely of Chester with painted and stencilled pipes, and an elaborate carved reredos with panels painted by A.O. Hemming, signed and dated 1907. Additionally, there is a scheme of good painted and stained glass in the chancel, likely produced by the Lancaster firm Shrigley & Hunt.
