All Saints Church is a partly redundant Anglican church in the village of Newton Green, Suffolk, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. [1] The chancel is still in use for worship, but the nave, porch and tower are redundant and vested in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. [2] The church stands towards the north of the village, some two miles east of Sudbury.
Most of the church was rebuilt in the 14th century, replacing an earlier Norman church. [2] The south porch was added in the 15th century, and restored in 1975. [1] By the 1960s the church had fallen into disrepair, and it was divided at the chancel arch, the chancel continuing in use for worship. [3]
All Saints is constructed in flint with stone dressings, and some brick. [1] The porch is timber-framed. Its plan consists of a nave with a south porch, a chancel with a north vestry, and a west tower. [3] The tower has diagonal buttresses, and its battlemented parapet is constructed in brick. [1] The north doorway in the nave is Norman, dating from the 12th century, probably from the 1130s or 1140s. It is round-arched, has two orders, scalloped capitals, and arches decorated with chevrons. The doorway has been partly blocked, forming a window in the upper part. The south doorway dates from the 13th century. The east window in the chancel has a 14th-century five-light window. [3]
Inside the church, the chancel arch is blocked with glass in the upper part, and glazed doors in the lower part. On the south side of the nave is a tomb dating from about 1300 containing the effigy of a female. [3] On the north wall is a series of 14th-century wall paintings depicting scenes relating to the Incarnation. [2] [3] In front of the paintings is a pre- Reformation pulpit in the shape of an hourglass. [4] In the chancel are a piscina and a sedilia, both dating from the 14th century, and the elaborate tomb of Margaret Boteler who died in 1410. [3] In the chancel windows are fragments of medieval stained glass. [4] The font is octagonal, and dates from the 15th century. [1]
