All Saints Church, Cockley Cley

Highlight • Religious Site

Another nice example of a medieval round tower church, sadly in the 1990s' the tower itself collapsed, the church was likely originally a Norman construction, worth a visit, even if most of it now is C19th century fabric.

Parish church. Medieval and later. Extensive C19 restoration. Flint with ashlar dressings. Plaintile and lead roofs. Circular west tower; nave with aisles and south porch; chancel. Tower probably Norman with a C14 bell stage. One small ground floor window to south with arched lintel. West window C14 with cusped ogee arch and hood mould. One Norman first floor loop with arched lintel. 2 decorative bands of dark knapped flint in position of ground and first floor ceilings. Off-set below bell-stage. 4 2-light cusped Y-traceried bell openings. Octagonal crenellated parapet. North aisle with Victorian tracery. South aisle with similar Victorian windows to south, one C13 lancet to west and a 3-light Y-traceried window to east. Victorian porch in late- Medieval style. Restored C14 doorway with wave mouldings, double hollow mouldings and carved head label stops. C13 chancel with 5 lancet windows to north 5 to south and triple lancets to east beneath a continuous hood mould. Gabled buttresses to east wall. Interior. Early C14 3-bay south arcade of quatrefoil piers supporting 2 orders of hollow chamfered arches. The square core of each pier is left protruding slightly. North arcade Victorian in precise imitation.

A broad, straight road impressively lined with an avenue of trees. The gradient gradually descends southwards towards Cockley Cley which can really build your speed.
