All Saints Church

All Saints Church is a Gothic Revival building in West Hoathly, featuring a northeast tower with a broach spire clad in oak shingles. The lancet windows and decorative interior moldings form its main architectural elements.

The church was built in 1884 after sisters Frances Kirby and Caroline Weguelin initiated its creation to serve Highbrook residents. In 1975, it joined an administrative union with the West Hoathly parish.

The building displays Victorian religious architecture with refined details that go beyond typical village church standards. These carefully crafted elements reflect the period's confidence in religious craftsmanship.

The building stands on Hammingden Lane and remains active as part of a worshipping community today. Its Grade II listing status indicates it is a protected structure, so visiting during service times is advisable.

Stained glass windows installed between 1885 and 1892 create a personal connection to the church's founders. The east window commemorates the parents of the sisters who established this place, adding a touching family element to the building.
