Two other buildings face onto this courtyard: one is the vicarage and the other (formerly a choir school) now houses the parish room and flats for assistant priests. • Country - United Kingdom • Denomination - Church of England • Architect(s) - William Butterfield • Style - Gothic Revival

- 18. ● Previous architecture of the 19th-century Gothic Revival had copied medieval buildings. ● But Butterfield departed considerably from medieval Gothic practice, especially by using new materials like brick and all the hand craft. ● All Saints is built of brick, in contrast to Gothic Revival churches of the 1840s, typically built of grey Kentish ragstone. ● quality of the brick he chose made it more expensive than stone. ● The exterior of All Saints is employs red brick, heavily banded and patterned with black brick, with bands of stone and carved elements in the gate, the church wall and spire.

Architectural features ● Decoration is therefore built into the structure, making All Saints the first example of 'structural polychromy' in London. ● All Saints is particularly celebrated for its interior decoration. ● The architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner described the interior as "dazzling, though in an eminently High Victorian ostentatiousness or obtrusiveness. ...
