All Saints’ Church was built on Wakefield Rd in Ackworth as a Chapel of Ease between 1888 and 1889.
The architect was Henry Curzon of London and the builders were Messrs. Padbury of Scarborough, with James Lamprey and Son of Ackworth preparing the ground.
The church was opened at 3pm on Tuesday 2nd July, 1889, with a service taken by the Archdeacon of Sheffield.
Exterior Description
The walls are of coursed Ackworth stone and the roofs steeply pitched and slated in Welsh Blue slate. The fleche is covered with Westmorland slates and the bellcote is clad in cedar shingles.
Walls to the north, east and west (which are on view from the street) comprise neatly dressed and tightly jointed ashlars with a string course at sill level. The south elevation is devoid of detail and constructed entirely in riven stone. Gutters are largely of cast iron though some on the north side have been replaced in plastic, most of the pipes are now plastic.
Interior
Interior Description
The ceiling in the church is beamed, mostly with beams of a decorative nature. The words of the Lord’s Prayer are painted at Wall Plate level.
The chancel is a tiered area containing Priests stalls, choir stalls, an altar rail, all of which are made of pine and simply carved.
The majority of the space in the nave is occupied by rows of basic pitch pine Victorian pews.
The simply carved stone font was moved from the rear of the church to the front of the nave at the time of the kitchen installation. The pulpit opposite is of a similar stone base with a carved wooden top which links with the carving in the chancel.
