All Saints' Church is the parish church of the town of Batley, Kirklees, West Yorkshire, England. It dates to the 15th century, was restored in the 19th century and is a Grade I listed building.
There was a church at Batley when the Domesday Book was compiled in 1086.[2] [3] Parish records since 1559 are extant.[4]
Adam de Oxenhope de Copley had a chantry chapel added to the south side of the church in 1334. The present building was completed around 1485, but incorporates elements from the 14th-century church.[2] The interior was restored in 1872–73 by Walter Hanstock, who designed churches in Batley and Leeds.[5] A vestry was subsequently added, and replaced in the 1960s. The first organ was installed in the chantry chapel in 1830; the present organ dates to 1965.[2] The church was Grade I listed on 29 March 1963.
The church is stone, with Decorated features including the south arcade. It has a porch on the south side, a nave with clerestory and north and south aisles, and a Perpendicular west tower with tall corner pinnacles and a corbelled-out battlemented parapet that is characteristic of the Leeds area.[6] The east window is Perpendicular. There is a Lady chapel on the south and on the north a chapel dedicated to St Anne with the late-15th century tomb of Sir William and Lady Anne Mirfield, with alabaster effigies.[5] [7] The vestry on the north side dates to the mid-1960s.[2]
A recumbent effigy in the churchyard east of the porch was Grade II listed on 13 January 1984.
