All Saints' Church, Cheltenham

All Saints’ Church stands in the centre of Cheltenham as a Grade I listed Anglican parish church. Built between 1865 and 1868 by John Middleton, it follows the Traditional Catholic tradition and receives oversight from the Bishop of Oswestry. The church rejects the ordination of women as priests and bishops. George L. Gardiner served as vicar from 1888 to 1911. The interior is praised by Harry Stuart Goodhart-Rendel as a fine example of Gothic confidence with Victorian flair. The stone font by Middleton has a canopy designed by H. A. Prothero, while the chancel screen was crafted by William Letheren. A rose window in the south transept follows an Edward Burne-Jones design, made by Morris & Co. in 1901. The church has also hosted music videos by Libera. Visitors find a richly decorated interior with Gothic detailing and Victorian craftsmanship. The organ, built in 1887 by William Hill & Son, has 46 speaking stops and seven couplers. Its case was designed by Prothero, and parts of the organ came from Worcester Cathedral. The hydraulic blowing engine was replaced by an electric unit in 1912, and the organ has been modified several times since. Adolph von Holst, father of Gustav Holst, served as organist for nearly 30 years.
