Exterior Description
All Saints is of the simplest possible form: rectangular two-bay nave with the tower. rising above the roof at its western end, a chancel slightly over half the length of the nave. The tower is scarcely more than a bell-turret but, with its corner pinnacles and castellated parapet, it is the most striking feature of the building. Tower and nave have a distinctly 18th century air, especially in such features as the round opening in the gable of the west wall, and the chancel arch; the chancel looks as though it could well have been added later. The nave windows have Y-tracery, those of the chancel have cusped heads. The whole building is substantiallybuilt of stone, with roof coverings of slate.
