All Saints Church, Saltfleetby

All Saints Church is a Norman church in Saltfleetby featuring a tall square tower that tilts toward the west, a long nave, and a south aisle covered by a heavy timber roof. The building displays the typical layout of its medieval origins with substantial interior proportions.

Founded in 1101, this church underwent changes during the 13th and 15th centuries as builders added architectural styles of those eras. These renovation phases show how the structure evolved to reflect the design preferences of different generations.

The interior holds two distinct pulpits from different periods, along with a carved stone screen that shows the craftsmanship of medieval artisans.

Access to the interior involves descending a few steps, and facilities are basic with simple heating and lighting available. Visitors should wear warm clothing and consider bringing a torch if planning to examine details in darker areas.

The baptismal font brings together elements from three separate centuries, with an octagonal bowl from the 13th century, medieval shafts, and a carved base from the 15th century. This makes it a visible record of how the church adapted its furnishings across generations.
