6/195 Church of All Saints 31. 8.1962

II*

Parish church, C13 but re-fenestrated and re-roofed in C14. In early C15 the West tower was inserted into the West end of the nave. The church was extensively restored and again re-roofed in 1863. Except for the West tower, the principal building material is clunch with Barnack limestone footings and quoins. The West tower is pebblestone with Barnack dressings. It is of three-stages with a stepped and embattled parapet, two-stage clasping buttresses and a moulded main cornice with beast gargoyles at the corners. The sill is splayed. The nave has a C19 tiled roof carried down over the aisle, obscuring the original C13 clerestory with its horizontal vesica shaped windows. All the fenestration of the South aisle has been renewed in Ketton in C14 style. The South porch is contemporary with the South aisle and has a two-centred, chamfered arch with broach stops. In the chancel there are two original windows in the North wall. One early C13 lancet and a C14 two cinquefoil light window with foiled head in a two-centred arch. One window in the South wall has a low side. The North doorway is C14 and wave moulded. Inside, the church is noteworthy for its clunch work. The three bay arcade has two-centred arches of two hollow and broach stopped orders on octagonal columns with capitals of natural leaf foliage. The carving of the capitals would suggest a later date than that of the early C13 clerestory. The responds at the East end of the nave arcade have bell shaped capitals with similar natural leaf foliage ornament on attached shafts. In the chancel there is a good late C14 three seat sedilia in three bays, with subcusped ogee heads with running foliate ornament, finials and above a frieze of pierced arcading, all in clunch. The piscina is of similar date and style. The screen between nave and chancel is C15, restored, in three bays. On tile right hand side the closed panels below the dado are early C17. Some of the pews are late C15 or early C16 and the pulpit is early C17 and octagonal, on a modern base. There are two sqint openings, one on either side of the chancel arch, and the remains of a rood loft staircase, on the North side of the chancel arch. Monuments. Alabaster tomb monument with effigies, in South aisle, reset, Edward Styward, 1596 and Margaret his wife, early C17. Slab in black marble, in nave, John Rant, 1696 and Johan, his wife 1663.
