Geocache Description:


All Saints' Church, Darlaston

The parish of All Saints was formed in 1872, the church being built and consecrated by Bishop Selwyn in the same year. It was erected as a memorial to Samuel Mills. The building, in Early English style was built of brick and designed by George Edward Street, R.A. The church consisted of a nave, aisles, vestry and a small turret with two exposed bells. The church had one of the finest stained-glass windows in Staffordshire, made by Morris to the designs of the artist Sir Edward Burne-Jones, R.A. and an organ built by Bryceson Brothers and Morton.

The church and parish hall were destroyed by a bomb on 31st July, 1942 during a bombing raid on Guest Keen & Nettlefolds' Atlas works. The new church, designed by Lavender and Twentyman of Wolverhampton and built on the site of the old church by E. Fletcher of Kingswinford, opened in 1952. The church tower containing two bells is 56 feet (17 m) high. The main body of the church is 120 feet (37 m) long by 45 feet (14 m) wide. The east end of the church is dominated by a tapestry designed by Stephen Lee, and the stone reliefs on the main door are by Don Potter. The church was listed at Grade II by Historic England on 22 February 2016.
