Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a Grade I listed church located on Abbey Road in Childwall. The chancel dates back to the 14th century, while the south aisle and porch are possibly from the 15th century. There were additions made in the 18th century, and the west tower and spire were constructed between 1810 and 1811. The north aisle was added in 1833, with parts rebuilt between 1900 and 1905.

The west tower features a two-light Y-tracery window and two-light bell openings above a three-faced clock. It has a parapet adorned with blind arcading, gargoyles, and a needle spire. The south aisle includes an embattled parapet and a porch with a four-centred arched entrance, along with a niche above. The Salisbury chapel, built between 1739 and 1740, has a three-light south window and a two-light square-headed east window, while the aisle itself contains cusped two-light square-headed windows. The north aisle has three-light segmental-pointed windows and a seven-light window dedicated to the Plumbe Chapel from 1777, featuring an ornamental cornice and an embattled parapet. The north chancel aisle was formerly a vestry built in 1753.

Inside, the chancel has two straight-headed windows with two cusped lights, and the east window is likely from the 18th century. The nave features arcades of three bays with octagonal piers and double chamfered arches, with the central arch being wider due to the removal of a pier when the Salisbury chapel was built. There is a west gallery across the nave and south aisle from the 18th century, and a three-bay arcade connects the north aisle to the north extension added in 1833. The nave and north aisle contain eight hatchments. The nave roof has tie beams with tracery above, while the chancel roof is waggon vaulted. The royal arms from 1664 are displayed above the chancel arch. The south aisle contains two brasses commemorating H. Norris, who died in 1524, and there are remains of a 14th-century piscina on the south side of the chancel. A painted memorial to Major Pitcairn Campbell, who died in 1855, is found in the north chancel aisle and is considered a rare example. The porch includes stones from a Saxon coffin, and a Norman capital is embedded in the wall of the north chancel aisle. A brass chandelier from 1737 hangs in the nave, with 19th-century replicas in the chancel. The east window of the south aisle was designed by Kempe and installed between 1900 and 1905. This church is noted as the only remaining medieval church in Liverpool.
