The ruined church of All Saints
Image: © Evelyn Simak Taken: 14 Feb 2010
Only part of the ivy-clad tower remains of All Saints church which was used until 1726. In 1734 licence was obtained to allow it to dilapidate. Font and seats were pulled up, the nave roof was unthatched, the roof of the south aisle unleaded, and both taken down. Four of the five bells were sold. The money obtained from the sale of the various items was used to repair St John's. The gravestones remained but only two can be found now near the north-eastern corner of the graveyard.
