Adrian S Pye provides the following information on All Saints'
Church;-
"On 29th August 1991 the round Norman tower collapsed leaving the church
without a bell. The rubble was cleared and the stump consolidated. It looks
to stay this way for some years yet. Inside, the aisle with its quatrefoil
piers is and chancel are coeval with the tower. The lancet windows would put
it at 12th or early 13th c. at the latest although the actual windows are
reproduced from the original design. The font is octagonal with 15th c. quatrefoil
designs but looks so crisp it too could be Victorian. Considerable restoration
took place here in 1866 and many details were lost but there is still a great
deal of the ancient to see. A few brasses can be found, the name Francis Dusgate
(1633) on one John Dusgate 1643 on another. No piscina or sedilia but an aumbry
is set into the east wall of the chancel. A nice little church!"
