All Saints Church, Thornton Hough

The church is constructed in rock-faced red sandstone with dressings in lighter stone.[5] It is roofed in slate with a red tile ridge.[2] Its architectural style is Geometrical, and it has a cruciform plan.[5] The church consists of a four-bay nave with a northwest porch, north and south transepts, a chancel with a north organ loft and a south vestry, and a southwest tower with a broach spire. The tower has angle buttresses, two-light windows and clock faces.[2] There is a total of five clock faces, with an additional higher one on the south side because Hirst could not see the lower face from his house.[4][5] At the top of the tower is a cornice with pinnacles, and two tiers of lucarnes on the spire.[2] The spire rises to a height of 120 feet (37 m)[4] Along the sides of the church is a Lombard frieze, buttresses, and two-light windows containing Geometrical tracery. The west window has five lights. In the transepts are three-light windows with a spherical triangle window above. The chancel has a three-light east window, and two-light windows along the sides. There is a lancet window in the organ loft, and a three-light window in the vestry.[2]

Inside the church the font and reredos are in Caen stone, they were both made by T. Ruddock, and they depict biblical scenes.[4] The stained glass includes the east window of 1868 by Clayton and Bell. In the south transept is a window by H. G. Hiller dated 1912, which depicts Saint Michael and angels. The west window is by an unknown artist, it is a war memorial dating from about 1920, and again it depicts Saint Michael. Elsewhere there are windows by Powell's, and by A. R. Fisher (1978), William Davies (1997), and Petri Anderson (2003).[5] In the south transept is an ornate Gothic monument to Joseph Hirst who died in 1874.[2][5] The original pipe organ was made by Gray and Davison.[4] This was replaced in 1912 by a two-manual organ by Norman and Beard. It was revoiced in 1985 by George Sixsmith.[6]
