More about this scene
All Saints' is known as the cathedral of the Nadder Valley. Its crossing tower is possibly of the 14th century; it is buttressed by simple moulded half arches at the east end of the nave. The south transept south window is later Perpendicular, and so is the top of the tower and the two-storey south porch, which has fleurons below the battlements. The nave roof has angel brackets. The font is early Perpendicular, and has cusped quatrefoils enclosing roses, leaves, shields and shells. The pulpit and pews are 17th-century. A monument near the south porch in the churchyard has a simple inscribed slab of 1930 to Christopher Wood, the painter who lived in nearby Reddish House, which has since been the home of Cecil Beaton, television celebrity Toyah Wilcox and, in the new century, Lord and Lady Weinstock.
