"There is no coloured glass, and this is a peaceful place with clear light falling across simple furnishings. The font appears to be a medieval survival, but all of its faces have been smoothed clean. The royal arms of William IV are displayed above the door, as if to keep any ideas which are too Victorian in check, and in truth it is hard to see that All Saints can ever have been particularly High Church or ritualistic.The great medieval survival of the church is the rood loft stairway, which rises up inside a window embrasure on the north side."
