Summary Description

All Saints church is listed Grade I, the highest listing grade. Both the church and its churchyard are important elements in the Hoby Conservation Area. The church is largely medieval, with many elements typical of the years either side of 1300, including the window tracery and the columns of the nave arcades with their subtly varied forms. It was restored in the 1860s by Ewan Christian, who largely rebuilt the chancel and stripped the plaster from the internal walls. The church contains furnishings of high value which enhance the significance of the building. These include a collection of fifteenth century timber benches with poppyhead ends in the nave and an elaborate early twentieth century decorative scheme in the chancel commemorating the Beresford family, who were both rectors and patrons of the living for nearly a century.
