Description:This postcard view shows the nave and chancel of the Grade II* listed All Saints’ Church, Forton. Looking through the arcade of Tuscan columns on the left there is a glimpse of the North Aisle. In the foreground there is a white marble font with waterleaf decoration, dated 1723.

The earliest stonework in the church dates from about 1200, which 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.
