All Saints in Upton has a tower built around 1776. The chancel south side has much eleventh-century herringbone coursing.

There is a late Norman tympanum to the south door and a thirteenth-century north arcade.

The building was heavily restored by Ewan Christian in 1867 and James Fowler in 1874-5 and 1880.

The east end of-chancel was heavily restored by Fowler in 1880, introducing two lancet windows and a small almond-shaped window above.

In order to stabilise the chancel, Fowler built large diagonal buttresses at the corners and, unusually, a central buttress.
