Restored circular C12 font with frieze of diagonally crossed squares.
All Saints' Church is a neat Early English structure, having chancel, nave, aisles, and tower with clock and 3 bells. The chancel was rebuilt by the late rector in 1825, and the nave was re-roofed and repaired in 1844-5 at the cost of about £500, mostly contributed by the late Mr. E. Dawson. The church was again restored in 1865, when it was repewed and refloored, part of the church rebuilt and the roof raised, at a cost of £1500, defrayed by subscription, to which the rector and the family of Mr. E. F. Dawson were the principal contributors. The Register dates from 1545. The living is a rectory of the yearly value of £380, derived from 250 acres of glebe, with residence, in the gift of the Lord Chancellor.
