All Saints Church. All Saints church > 1361744 - 1361794 is a puzzling construction: the tower adjoins the east end of the building on the north-eastern end > 1361748. It can be reached from the chancel and is presently used as a vestry. Its west and east walls have splayed windows > 1361830 in typical Norman style with medieval decorations still in place. Some early wall paintings have been discovered under the whitewash coating here. The south > 1361857 and the north > 1361853 doorways are Norman as is the nave, which houses the original C15 octagonal font > 1361847. The great treasure of the church is the magnificent east window > 1361811 which contains glass from the Continent, brought to England by Lady Beauchamp Proctor during the Napoleonic wars, and believed to originate from Rouen Cathedral. The north aisle is a late 19th century addition and the meeting room, the All Saints Centre > 1361780 was added in 1993. Interestingly, the remains of a round tower at the west end were discovered in the course of its construction. This church is open every day during daylight hours.
