All Saints Church is in Church Lane, Marple, Greater Manchester, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. In the churchyard is the tower of an earlier church, which is also listed at Grade II. The church is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Macclesfield and the deanery of Chadkirk. The first church on the site was a small timber-framed building erected in the second half of the 16th century. The first recorded service took place in 1588. In 1803 the building was in a ruinous condition and it was decided that a new church should be built. In 1808 Robert Goldsmith was appointed as architect and the church was completed in 1811 at a cost of £4,000 (equivalent to £310,000 in 2021). A major financial contributor to the building of the church was Samuel Oldknow, a local cotton manufacturer. In 1816 a peal of bells arrived and in 1826 an organ was installed. By the 1870s the church was too small for the congregation and the building was unsuitable for expansion so it was decided that a new church should be built. The new church was built 30 metres (98 ft) to the south of the old church. J. Medland Taylor and Henry Taylor were appointed as architects and the church cost £6,056 (equivalent to £640,000 in 2021). It was consecrated on 30 June 1880. In the following years some services were still held in the old church but its condition deteriorated and by 1964 it was considered to be dangerous and (save its tower) it was demolished. The tower was strengthened and the bells re-hung in it, making it a free-standing bell-tower. More information...
