Church of All Saints, Medieval church in West Ham, England

The Church of All Saints features a 23-meter stone tower from the early 15th century, with Norman walls containing rounded arches and pillars.

Founded in 1150, the church received a charter from Henry II between 1181-1182, confirming its designation to Stratford Langthorne Abbey.

The interior contains an ornate reredos designed by Sir Charles Gilbert Scott, who also created the Albert Memorial in Kensington Gardens.

The church provides facilities for cyclists and walkers, with parking spaces available within 250 meters and accessible toilets nearby.

The clock in the tower, designed in 1857 by Lord Grimthorpe, served as the prototype for the mechanism later used in Big Ben.
