All Saints' Church, Nottingham

All Saints' Church, Nottingham

All Saints' Church was built in 1863–64, mainly in sandstone. Along with the church, a large parsonage and a church school were built at the sole cost (some £10,000) (£740,000 as of 2012), of William Windley JP, a local philanthropist. With all of the ancillary building, the total cost was £25,000 (£1,840,000 as of 2012). The church was built in Gothic revival style to seat 500, and has a fine broach spire reaching 175 feet (53 m) tall (8th tallest building in Nottingham) and housing a ring of ten bells (the heaviest weighing 16 cwt). The architect was Thomas Chambers Hine, of Nottingham.

The church was consecrated on 3 November 1864. 1200 crammed into the 800 seats and there was a large attendance of clergy. The six bells of the church were cast by John Taylor & Co of Loughborough on an oak bell frame. At installation in 1864 this was extended to accommodate two extra bells. In 1999 the bells were tuned and hung in a new steel frame with room for 10 bells. At the same time the redundant All Saints’ School bell was installed as a Sanctus bell. The first organ was built by Lloyd and Dudgeon from Nottingham; the current organ is by Norman and Beard and dates from 1906.
