about All Saints Church, Raleigh Street
The
Church and it's buildings were erected in 1864. These included the
church building, school, headmaster's house and vicarage. They were
built in 1864 and paid for by a sole benefactor, William Windley
JP (b. 1821 d. 1877). The Architect was TC Hine of Nottingham and
the church and many of the other buildings are now Grade II listed.
The church building is mostly constructed of sandstone, in a Gothic
revival style, with fine broach spire which can be seen from several
parts of the city. The spire rises to 175 feet and houses a ring
of ten bells.
The nave is capable of seating 500. It's altar stands on a dais
in front of the chancel arch. To the left of the nave altar is the
Lectern (Brass Eagle). This was given in memory of Mary Stockwood
who died in 1886, aged 16.
Set into the wooden panelling in the chancel are various memorials
many of which remember members of the founder’s family (the
Windleys).
