The Foundation Stone for All Saints' Church was laid in 1926 and the memorial to this event can be found on the east end of the building. The Church was built as a daughter church to St. Barnabas' Hengoed and remained as such until Hengoed Church was made redundant in 1981, at which point All Saints became the parish church for Hengoed with Gobowen. The parish of Hengoed with Gobowen was originally in the diocese of St. Asaph but transferred to the diocese of Lichfield when the Church in Wales disestablished. All Saints was officially opened in 1928 and its vicar was Revd George Owen Browne, the first of nine vicars to date (December 2013) who have served the parish. Others have included: Bertram Russell, Arthur Cecil Roberts, Glyn Owen Jones, John Michael Allen, Paul Wilkinson, Michael John Withey, Christopher John Groocock and Adrian Richard Bailey (the current vicar as at December 2013). The church was extended variously throughout its history including the extension of the West End, the addition of a second vestry (to the rear) and a bell tower. In 1979, the building was devastated by fire and services continued during that period in the hall next to the Church. It re-opened in 1981 with a brand new commissioned stained glass window to the East End, a donated window depicting the nativity in the West End, and various pieces of furniture donated from churches elsewhere.
