All Saints Church, Great Saughall
All Saints Church stands in the village of Great Saughall in Cheshire. It is an active Anglican parish church built in red Ruabon brick with a tiled roof and a green-slate tower topped by a broach spire. The church has a four-bay nave, a north aisle, south porch, transepts, a short chancel with a polygonal apse, and a central tower. Its plan includes a projecting baptistry at the west end and a four-bay arcade inside. The churchyard contains five war graves from the two world wars. The church was designed by Manchester architect J. Medland Taylor and opened in 1896. The foundation stone was laid in 1895 by Mrs Trelawny of Shotwick House, and the expanded church was consecrated in 1911. The Vernon family donated funds for the 1909–10 expansion, which added the north aisle, spire, chancel, sanctuary, organ chamber, and vestry. The church became a separate parish in 1921, and its aisle was later partitioned for a modern meeting room. Inside, the chancel features an opus sectile reredos by Powells and a ceiling painting by Herman Saloman. The two-manual organ was built in 1918 by Poyser of Chester. The church’s windows include triple lancets in the nave, double lancets in the apse, and varied designs in the aisle. The tower contains louvred bell openings and a corbel table, while the spire has additional louvred openings.
