Church History
- OS Grid Square TL327784.
- The ancient church of All Saints consisted of a chancel, nave, south porch and bell-turret of wood at the west end. The south doorway of the chancel and the north doorway of the nave were of the 12th century; the south doorway of the nave was late on the same century. The east window was of 14th century and of three lights. The remaining features were of 15th century date.
- This church was pulled down in 1863, and a new church was erected on the same site in 1864/5. The present church consists of a chancel with vestry on the north, nave, west tower and south porch. The walls are of stone faced internally with brick, and the roofs, including the spire, are covered with tiles. The only features of the old church which have been preserved are the 14th century square-headed two-light windows reset in the west wall of the vestry, and a scratched circular sun-dial in the north wall, but much of the stone facing is obviously of old material re-used.
