The consecration of All Saints' Church took place on June 25th 1872. The service was conducted by the Bishop of Rochester, Thomas Legh Claughton, because at that time the church was in the Diocese of Rochester (the Diocese of St Albans was not formed until 1877).
Therefore to celebrate our 150th Anniversary in 2022 we are holding a series of events which are highlighted below.
