Church of All Saints, Haggerston
All Saints' Church, Haggerston, also the Church of All Saints is an Anglican church in Livermere Road, near the junction with Haggerston Road. It is part of a parish with Holy Trinity Church and St Philip, Dalston (demolished after bombing in World War II).
All Saints was designed in the Gothic style by Philip Hardwick – best known as architect of the now demolished Euston Arch and the original Birmingham Curzon Street.
Constructed of Kentish rag with ashlar dressings, it was built between 1855–56. The church was extended by T.E. Knightley, probably in the early 1860s and due to growth in the congregation, with aisles remodelled and galleries added.
It has been extensively repaired, first following a fire and then war damage. Inside, the church is plastered and painted and its Grade II listing (Link
) notes that the interior is: “curiously old-fashioned for its date and survives remarkably completely”.
