Description:The earliest stonework in All Saints' church dates from c.1200, and can found in the east wall of the chancel and part of the north wall; above the vestry door can be seen an original lancet window. The south front of the church is Georgian. Restoration work was carried out by W.D. Caroe between 1909 and 1910.

Inside the church are seventeenth century monuments to the Skrymsher family and a white marble font, dated 1723. The stained glass windows were broken by Cromwell's officers during the Civil War.
