Heritage Open Day: A listed Victorian neo-gothic church, spire and parish buildings uniquely set around an enclosed quadrangle. Black and red bricks on the exterior and very colourfully decorated internally with beautiful stained glass windows and stone carving. All Saints is an early grade I listed neo-gothic church built in 1857 by G E Street as a Tractarian church with the 150ft tower and spire added in 1865 and an extension by his son Arthur in 1910. Street was a contemporary of Pugin, Butterfield and Scott and is buried in Westminster Abbey, his most famous building being the Royal Courts of Justice in The Strand, London. The church is of a collegiate style on one side of a grass quadrangle with the old vicarage, parish centre and church houses on the other three sides.
