All
Saints
Number 115 in the
series is All Saints. The church, which is flint with tiled roof,
is a simple one comprising nave and chancel without aisles or
chapels. A vestry and porch were added in the 19th century. All
that remains of the Norman church are two small round-headed
windows, one to the left of the porch as you enter the church, and
the other in the north wall, and the impressive south door which
still contains the original oak panels and wrought iron hinge work.
During the 13th century the chancel and chancel arch were rebuilt
and, with the insertion of two large windows in the nave, the
church took on its present shape. The only other remaining part of
the medieval church is in the nave roof. Looking up, one can see
the fine oak tie beams linking the north and south walls. On the
top of these are three crown posts indicative of a 15th century
date.
There is parking
outside of the church.
