All Saints church was, apart from the West tower, almost entirely rebuilt from the foundations in 1876-77 in Early English style by Medland & Son. The 13th Century tower has a shafted West door with filleted arch, flat clasping buttresses, single or paired lancets, and a plain recessed spire, rebuilt after storm damage in 1824, and restored in 1964. The Medlands' rebuilding used most of the original stone, and replaced many features in their former positions, though the cross-gabled two-bay North aisle was entirely new and the chancel superseded one of circa 1840. There is a transeptal North chapel with an elaborate triple lancet East window, set within a moulded arch. There are also the remains of a rood stair. The North wall with its rose window is entirely 19th Century. The font is plain and octagonal with a shaft and base circa 1877.
