Description:The earliest stonework in All Saints' church dates from about 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 17th 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.

This is one of a series of watercolours of all the churches in Lichfield Diocese in Staffordshire, painted by Miss Theodosia Hinckes and Mrs Rebecca Moore (wife of the Archdeacon of Stafford for Lichfield Cathedral) for Lichfield Cathedral between 1857 and 1861.
