Church of All Saints, Parish church in Blackheath, England

The Church of All Saints stands on the southern edge of Blackheath common, constructed from Kentish ragstone with a prominent spire at its southwest corner.

William Legge, 5th Earl of Dartmouth, donated the land and laid the foundation stone in 1857, leading to the church's consecration by Bishop Archibald Tait in 1858.

The church maintains a strong musical tradition, with past musical directors including Sir Arthur Sullivan and Gustav Holst, continuing through regular performances and recitals.

The church opens daily from 8am to 3pm for private prayer, with Sunday services at 8am for Holy Communion and 10:30am for Parish Mass.

During Terry Waite's five-year captivity in Lebanon, Reverend Henry Burgin maintained a continuously lit candle in the church as a symbol of hope.
