All Saints' Church, Hastings
All Saints' Church, Hastings
Grade II* Listed.
A 15th Century church reconstructed after the French raid of 1377, with some re-used stones suggesting a previous 12th c church. Situated on a fairly steep slope, with steps up to the west door.
Decorated with flint and stone chequerwork, north and south aisles of 4 bays with octagonal piers. South porch (not used) rebuilt in 19th C.
The west tower was probably built last and was possibly paid for by the townspeople as a showpiece. It has north east stair turret, a castellated transome and west window.
The Font is 15th C. octagonal. There is a 15th C doom discovered in 1870, 15th C. sedilia and piscinae, and in the north aisle is a black tomb slab to John Atte Clyve, said to be 1458. One brass to Thomas Goodenough and wife about 1520.
Most other monuments are 19th C. Restored in 1870 by Butterfield who renewed the East window.
Contains a fine Father Willis organ of 1878 which is little altered.
