All Saints church dates from mediaeval times when the local weaving industry was at its height, it is mainly Perpendicular period architecture. The tower exhibits the feature of the early part of the Perp period. Since 1370 the Patron has been the Cambridge College of Conville and Caius, this association may have attracted gifts towards the rebuilding of the church. A legacy has been traced to 1383 when Roger de Wilasham left 5 marks for this tower. So it is likely that many people contributed towards the cost and improvements were made to the church for another 100 years after that. There is no evidence of one great benefactor building the church alone.

Only the lower half of the rood screen survives. It was painted in 1453 with the 12 Apostles. They were painted over at the Reformation until a curate of Mattishall Burgh restored them by rubbing off the paint with a wet finger.
