The church’s font has an interesting history. Originally the Abbey’s, and dating from the 14th century, it was found in 1860 in the grounds of Stanton Hall where it had been used as a flower vase. It was restored to Dale churchyard by a Mr Woodward and one John Hancock, and put in All Saints’ Church in around 1878. It appears that the clue that it was not actually a vase lay in the carving of a crucifix on a side panel.

It seems that the church underwent considerable alterations in about 1480. It is probable that before that date the neighbouring house was altogether detached from the church, as the old buttress at the west end would seem to indicate. It probably terminated in a line with the present chimney block, and its stone foundation and its chamfer at the western or parlour end denotes the extent of the original house. A Victorian writer surmised that this house was inhabited initially by the Gomme’s son Richard, who acted as the chaplain to the church; this is pleasant conjecture. The house was entirely rebuilt in 1480, half-timbered and joined on to the church by a new wing. There is a window hole of 1480 between the bedroom and the gallery. The west end and the western half of the north front of the old house (the one destroyed in 1883) dated from around 1480, and all the rest of that old house from 1651.

In about 1480 the walls of the church were lowered, decapitating the windows, and a low arch was put over the east window to fit under a lowered gable. It seems likely that these alterations were done to create the infirmary and infirmary chapel, the original infirmary in the abbey field apparently having fallen into disuse at about that time. The gallery was created at this stage too, and may well have facilitated the watching of the mass by infirm people, even lepers, brought in on stretchers from the infirmary next door. A Victorian writer said that the position of the opening between the church and the farm indicated that a daily mass was said in the south aisle, not in the north aisle as is normal these days. A door connected the infirmary and chapel both upstairs and downstairs. The screens, with their plain lights and plain lower panels with moulded frames also probably date from this period.

The church’s south aisle windows, the upper storey with its open timber roof, and the furnishings were altered around 1634. The furnishings are unique because the reading desk, pulpit and clerk's pew are all behind the altar and still in use. The purpose was to bring the officiant as close to the congregation as possible. The open seats which serve as pews in the nave, and the box pews (high-sided to keep the draughts out) are probably 17th century, as is the three-decker pulpit: This has plain panelling, with a top band of upright leaf and a book-rest on elegant brackets and modillions. The communion table is a 17th century table, boxed in on all sides in the 18th century and made into a cupboard (a medieval practice). In Victorian times it contained 17th century records, along with a bible and Prayer Book, which still remained in the mid 20th century.
