1.2.56 CHURCH OF ALL SAINTS
G.V. I
Anglican Parish Church. 1761 by John Wood, the Younger, of Bath, for Mrs.
Elizabeth Parkin of Ravenfield, Yorkshire and Woolley Manor; repaired 1978.
Ashlar with a slate roof behind a coped parapet and a moulded cornice. In
effect a classical church but with Gothick dressings and consisting of a nave
with a west bell tower and an apsidal sanctuary. The west gable end is the
'front': pointed central doorway in an ovolo moulded surround and with a studded
plank door; above is a cusped circular window and a pediment surmounts the gable
end. The parapet above the pediment is swept up to the bell tower which has
circular lights and is topped by an octagonal cupola with urns at the corners.
The body of the church has Y-tracery windows, two to the nave and one to canted
exterior of the chancel. The interior is much altered: the fittings are late
C19 and 1903. C18 font with a circular bowl on a baluster stem, all enriched
with foliage. Pointed tower arch. Monuments include three funeral hatchments.
Nave: Mrs. Charity Wiltshire, died 1763, inscribed plaque on a coloured marble
ground with a moulded cornice and arms above; Mrs. Anne Worgan, died 1767,
inscribed marble plaque on a coloured marble ground with an urn above. Apse:
Richard Bendyshe, died 1825, inscribed marble plaque with a sarcophagus above.
The church replaced a mediaeval structure which had become ruinous. Mrs. Parkin
commissioned a second Gothick building, having already employed John Carr of York
to rebuild St. James' Church, Ravenfield, Yorks. in a Gothick style in 1756.
