All Saints was built on what was the main road to London. Parts of the church date back over 700 years with later additions and sits in a large well kept churchyard containing some listed tombs and intersected by public footpaths. It is unusual in having a brick tower dated 1520 and north aisle from 1644 with a timber arcade between it and the nave.
Inside the church there are some notable memorial plaques and monuments, several to the Archer family notably one to William Eyre Archer who died in 1739 attributed to Scheemaker. There are several hatchments and four large charity boards on the walls.Furnishings include a relic of a medieval doorway said to come form the old priest house( now demolished), a two decker pulpit and an old churchwardens chest.
By the organ there is an interesting brass to William Kyrkeby and further brasses ( although some are lost) in the altar tombs found either side of the altar table.
