All Saints Church
A Beautiful church.
Just outside the front entrance to the church is a large bit of land which was formerly a children’s home and last used for elderly care but has since been demolished.
Unfortunately the vandals have been inside, as you can see they have graffitied the building and also possibly smashed windows and doors.
Some History:
In 1881 Mr. Charles Randell of Fern Hill, Hawley, (a cousin of the Revd. John Randell who was the founder of Holy Trinity Church, Hawley), built and endowed All Saints' Home and also founded a Chapel, now known as All Saints' Church.
The Home was intended as a convalescent home for the people of a parish in East London, but before it was completed Charles Randell died. The Home and Chapel were completed in 1882 by his widow Eden Randell in his memory, and the Community of St. John Baptist, Clewer, under the guidance of Canon. Carter, their founder, undertook to run the Home as a home for girls and young children from the slums of London who were without homes of their own, or "exposed to evil influences".
In 2008 planning was submitted to turn the property into an assisted living scheme for the elderly.
