Description

Chelsea Old Church, also known as All Saints, is a church and tower that suffered extensive damage by bombing. The South Chapel likely dates to the 16th century, with subsequent work carried out in the 17th century and later. The remainder of the church has now been restored to resemble its original form. The church houses a significant number of early monuments that were salvaged from the destroyed building, alongside several small panels of 16th-century stained glass.
