All Saints Church is widely recognised as one of the most important examples of Decorated Period architecture in North Buckinghamshire. Altough extensively restored by GE Street in the mid nineteenth century, much of the original fabric remains. Street did, however remove the internal plasterwork, which may have destroyed wall paintings such as were found at the neighbouring church of St Lawrence at Broughton.

For a more detailed description, see the section on All Saints Church elsewhere on the website.
