Description
All Saints Church is a Perpendicular style building, dating from the 16th century. It comprises a nave, chancel, a south porch, a north vestry, and a west bellcote. The church is constructed of random rubble with ashlar dressings, covered by a slate roof. The bellcote has a steep gable with an ornate Celtic cross on the ridge. The bell is housed within an opening featuring a lancet arch, weatherboarding, and louvres. Gables of the nave and chancel have dressed stone copings, with a Celtic cross on the chancel gable. The nave and chancel are buttressed, with the east wall splayed at its base. A three-light Perpendicular style window is located on the west side of the church. The east window is of three lights, also in Perpendicular style, featuring a hood mould and foliage stops. Generally, north and south walls have three-light windows set beneath square heads. The south porch is gabled and topped with a Celtic cross. Its east and west walls feature a pair of cusped lights under square heads, with segmental rere-arches. The doorway is triple-chamfered, lacks capitals, and has a hood mould with foliage stops. The south doorway has a single order of keeled shafts which rise to the arch without capitals, surmounted by a wooden angel. The door is adorned with decorative ironwork. The vestry is gabled, with a doorway on the north side, and a three-stage brick stack rises from the nave roof.
The interior is notable for its seven-bay nave and chancel roof. It features arch-braced trusses with cusped diagonal struts. Each bay includes three tiers of windbraces forming quatrefoils, with boarded panels behind, separated by moulded ribs. The three eastern bays have ribs embossed with a variety of foliage designs. Rafters rest on a moulded cornice, beneath which are four posts to each bay, with boarding behind, supported by a moulded wall plate. Principals stand on hammer beams with carved angels on their ends, and beneath these are tall bracketed wall posts standing on corbels of alternately male and female heads. The interior walls are plastered white. The east window, by Clayton & Bell, depicts the Crucifixion. The west window, by Wailes, commemorates the Hamer sisters of Glanhafren. A hexagonal font in Perpendicular style includes a panelled stem and Tudor roses in quatrefoils around the bowl.
