TL 97 SE STANTON THE STREET (WEST SIDE)

3/49 Church of All Saints 14.7.55 (Formerly listed under General) II* Parish church. C14, restored 1875/6. Nave, chancel, south aisle and south tower, the ground storey used as a porch, but probably originally free- standing. A small vestry to the north of the chancel. Rubble flint, with freestone quoins and dressings; an admixture of stone in the east chancel wall. Plaintiled roofs; ornamental crosses to east and west gables. Angle buttresses to the west end of the nave. Range of 5 2-light windows on the north side of the nave and chancel, in Decorated style with curvilinear tracery, and 2 similar windows on the south side of the chancel. The 3-light east and west windows, restored in the C19, have reticulated tracery. 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. Along the upper wall on the south side of the nave 5 small circular clerestory windows, quatrefoiled. The south aisle has a parapet and cornice with ball-flower ornament, a 3-light segmental-headed east window with reticulated tracery and 2 straight-headed 2-light windows on the south. 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. From 1906 until 1956 this bottom stage was roofed over and used as a porch. 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. The tower is linked to the western bay of the south aisle in a manner which suggests that the aisle is of slightly later date, and was constructed round the tower. To the east of the south doorway an ogee-headed niche has been roughly cut into the tower buttress for a stoup. 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. To the south of the arch, the upper door of the stairs to the rood-loft. A piscina in the north-each corner of the nave, and sedilia and an ogee-headed piscina in the chancel. Nave arcade on south in 4 bays with octagonal piers and double chamfered arches. 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. This is the finest feature of the church. At the west end of the aisle, a plain octagonal font with central pier surrounded by 8 small shafts on a high octagonal base. For further details on the history and fittings of the church, see David Dymond, The Churches of Stanton, Suffolk, a History and Guide.
