The Church of All Saints', documented from the early 13th century onwards, was described as 'a small ruinous building' in 1834. It was rebuilt in 1841 and again through the munificence of Commodore Peter Cracroft in 1863, each time apparently on the same site. The church is redundant and in alternative use. {1}{2}{3}{4}{5} 'All Saints' Church was built in 1861-62 by J Croft of Islington. Declared redundant in 1980 and now a private house. Small, but a showpiece of high Victorian self-confidence at its most horrible. With Teulon, E. B. Lamb and Basset Keeling, J. Croft must share the laureateship of what Goodhart-Rendel called rogue architecture. The lychgate is a perfect introduction. Then the church itself, rock-faced of course, and with a thin, partly engaged west tower with octagonal top and spire with tiny spikily trefoiled lucarnes and three tiers of separate warts. The steep roof of the south porch breaks above the eaves of the nave, and at the junction rises an incongruous octagonal chimney with a spiky crown. Spiky also is all the tracery, a pattern of ill-applied inventiveness, flowing, ie. Decorated, in its derivation, but undeniably original. The minute vestry on the north side is polygonal, with a sharp pyramid roof. Inside, the effect is determined by the contrast of exposed brick and lavishly carved stone. The windows, for instance are quite small, but flanked relentlessly by leafage. The west tower has a rib-vaulted baptistery below, and the arched braces of the roof stand on detached little columns which stand on brackets. The church was built at the expense of Commodore Peter Cracroft.' {6} For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate list of buildings of special architectural or historic interest. {7}
