Construction

The construction of the church was paid for by local land-owner John Miles who also donated the land on which it stands. He also provided the parish hall and the vicarage in Myddleton Park.[3]

Architecture

The church was built in around 1883 to an Early English Gothic Revival design by the architect Joseph Clarke. The body of the church consists of a nave with north and south aisles and an apsidal chancel, and there is a tower with a spire at the north-west corner. The building is faced in flint with ashlar dressings.[2] The interior has murals by Thomas Gambier Parry.[2]

War memorials

Inside the church are a number of plaques to the dead of the world wars. Inside the porch is a Roll of Honour to the dead of the First World War. Outside, on the corner of Oakleigh Road North and Myddelton Park road, is a memorial to the dead of both wars, known as the All Saints Church Parishioners war memorial, whose names are inscribed inside the church.[4]

gollark: <@332271551481118732> review draft:```Dear Mrs McGough,Given the current pandemic situation, and the school's mitigations to deal with this, I think it would be sensible to consider allowing sixth-form students (and potentially others) to remote-learn a few (2?) days a week.The new policies, such as staying in fixed areas of the school, shortened lunch breaks, the lack of vending machine access, and extracurricular activities being rescheduled, while necessary to ensure safety, seem as if they will introduce significant hassle and complexity to life at school.I think that part-time remote learning is a decent partial solution to this, with additional benefits like keeping possible virus spread even lower due to fewer people being physically present. While it could introduce additional work for teachers, they may have to prepare work for those out of school due to the virus anyway, and sixth form is apparently meant to include more self-directed work than other school years.Please consider my suggestion,Oliver Marks```
