Upon approaching the bucolic village of Seaton, situated in the rolling Welland river valley, one is first greeted by the elegant broach spire of All Hallows church. One of the longest churches in the county, All Hallows consists of a W tower, nave with N and S aisles, S porch and a chancel. Originally, a small church with an aisleless nave, in the late 12thc. the N aisle with a two-bay arcade was added. Then in the 13thc., the S aisle was added with its three-bay arcade and the N arcade was extended one bay to the W; the chancel and the W tower also date to this time. In the 14thc., the S porch was added and in a 1660 restoration, which lowered the pitch of the roof, the clerestory was built. A major restoration in 1874-75 was undertaken by N. M. Fawcett of Cambridge. The S doorway, the responds of the chancel arch and the N arcade of the nave are of the Romanesque period.
