The original Norman Church was built according to the two cell plan. Part of the 12th century nave wall,
The North Doorway and the Norman Font still survive.
The South Aisle is a 14th century addition, as is the Tower and the Porch. The roof and the South Aisle date from the
15th century. The Chancel was rebuilt in 1863.
Two windows of the north side of the Nave date from the 14th century but have been restored. The middle window is
of the 16th century. When this 16th century window was inserted, half of the nave window was destroyed. In 1896,
the 16th century was moved a little and the other restored to its proper proportions.
The North Door & Doorway
The north doorway is a fine specimen of 12th century Norman work, in an excellent state of preservation. The ancient
door is made of nail studded battens with strip hinges and moulded ribs planted on. The ancient worn key hangs within
the Church, near the doorway.
Piscinae
The Church possesses two 14th century piscinae, one on the south wall and one on the south east aisle wall.
Squint
The squint allowed the High Altar to be seen from the South Aisle Altar.
14th Century Head Corbels
In the south west asile are seven 14th century head corbels. Amongst them is one of a king and a woman in a wimple.
Mural
A mural of the Virgin Mary was discovered in the 19th century but, sadly, exposure to the light caused it to fade
away completely. As the Church is dedicated to All Saints, there were murals of many Saints painted on the walls -
all of these have faded on exposure to the light.
The Cheney Monument
The stone effigy of a knight in armour on the altar tomb belowe the east arch of the south arcade which divides
the nave from the aisle is thought to be of an important member of the Cheney family who lived in the
adjoining Court House. It is of what is known as the
Camail period, which take sit name from the chain mail which protected the neck circa 1340.
It was probably sculptured in Bath from Ham Hill free-stone.
The Tilley Monument
The painted alabaster monument to George and Mary Tilley, and their daughter was erected by Sir Edward Parham
and his wife (their daughter) in the early 17th century. The Tilleys lived in the
Manor House below the church.
The Carved Wing of an Angel
The Carved Wing of an Angel, adjacent to the north door, was blown of the Cathedral at Amiens in Flanders during
the Great War of 1914-18. It was picked up by Major HM Warrand and presented to the Church in 1961 by his daughter,
Mrs urwick. It is preserved at All Saints by the permission of His Grace the Archbishop of Amiens.
The Malet Wooden Panels with Painted Acheivement of Arms
Sir Thomas came to live in the Manor House in 1633. During the Civil War, the family
suffered greatly for their loyalty to the King; Sir Thomas, a judge, was imprisoned in the Tower of London; his son
Baldwin was killed in a skirmish with the Roundheads near the village in 1645.
