All Saints

3 buttresses along the north side of the nave have stone panels with the mutilated remains of medieval inscriptions: the eastern buttress has the crowned capitals MR (for Maria Regina) and the middle buttress Omn(e)s S(ancti) for All Saints.

The C14 tower collapsed in 1906, and only the bottom stage remains: moulded stone base and large diagonal buttresses, a simple doorway with pointed arch and continuous moulding, and one Y-tracery window on the east side.

In 1956 the upper stage was rebuilt to a design of Marshall Sisson, which includes a louvred bell-chamber containing 4 bells reinstated from the previous tower: 3 with medieval Latin inscriptions, one dated 1566.

C19 restoration of the interior includes the replacement of the nave and chancel roofs, the seating and the pulpit.

High narrow chancel arch with a series of blocked sockets which formerly suppported parts of the rood screen and rood.

Plain, heavy C16 timber roof to aisle.

Between the 2 south windows of the aisle is a much-damaged but very fine tomb-recess, cusped and subcusped, and surmounted by a high crocketed ogee gable, covered in detailed carving.

At the west end of the aisle, a plain octagonal font with central pier surrounded by 8 small shafts on a high octagonal base.
