About All Saints Church, Great Saughall

All Saints Church, Great Saughall, is located in Church Road in the civil parish of Saughall, Cheshire, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Wirral South, the archdeaconry of Chester, and the diocese of Chester. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. HistoryAll Saints was built as a chapel of ease to St Michael's Church, Shotwick. The foundation stone was laid on 31 July 1895 by the Honorable Mrs Trelawny of Shotwick House. It was designed by the Manchester architect J. Medland Taylor, and built at an estimated cost of £1, 288. It opened for worship in 1896, and was consecrated by Francis Jayne, Bishop of Chester, on 23 October 1901. The church was expanded in 1909–10, the architect being Isaac Taylor. The expansion consisted of a north aisle, a spire on the tower and, at the east end, a chancel, sanctuary, organ chamber, and vestry. The parishioners paid for the new aisle, and the rest was donated by the Vernon family, then living at Shotwick House. The expanded church was consecrated by the bishop of Chester on 4 January 1911. All Saints became a separate parish in its own right in 1921. During the last years of the 20th century the aisle was partitioned off to provide a meeting room with modern facilities.
