From their website:-
Wilden All Saints is a small brick-built Victorian church which was opened in 1880. It has strong connections with the Arts and Craft movement and all 14 stained glass windows were designed by Burne-Jones and produced by the Morris Company. This is because Edward Burne-Jones was the brother-in-law of Alfred Baldwin who commissioned the church.
Alfred owned the then nearby flourishing ironworks which employed most of Wilden's inhabitants. Alfred married Louisa McDonald, whose sisters had married the afore-mentioned Edward Burne Jones, (Georgiana), John Lockwood Kipling, (Alice, mother of Rudyard)and Edward Poynter, (Agnes). Alfred and Louisa had just one son, Stanley who notably became Prime Minister of England, serving 3 terms.
Apart from the windows, Wilden also has a set of Art and Crafts fabric hangings, a gold-thread altar frontispiece designed by William Morris and an illuminated prayer book with embroidered cover. These are all on display during regular Open Days. The treasured Baldwin silver is brought out ofthe bank vaults for special occasions.
Date the Church was built, dedicated or cornerstone laid: 01/01/1880
