The building
Built to serve the growing suburb of East Sheen, the building's foundation stone was laid on 28 October 1928 by Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (who was then the Duchess of York and later became Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother).
The church was built on land bequeathed under the will of Major Shepherd-Cross, MP for Bolton, who lived at nearby Palewell Lodge from 1896 until his death in 1913. It was consecrated on All Saints' Day 1929.
The architects were J E Newberry & C W Fowler.
Fire destroyed much of the nave in 1963, and the roof was later rebuilt.
The building includes a stained glass window commemorating Suzy Lamplugh, the estate agent who went missing in 1986, and who was, with her family, a member of All Saints congregation. The window was installed in her memory in 1996.
The terracotta Stations of the Cross were sculpted by Nathan David.
The church has a lady chapel which is used for the early morning service on Sundays and for other services during the week. There is also a church hall.
