The
Diocese of Southwark
website tells us:
All Saints Church stands on the
site of an earlier church, dating from the thirteenth century, in a central
position in the original village of Wandsworth. The river Wandle is close by
to the east, a few hundred yards from where it flows into the River Thames.
The lower parts of the west tower were built in 1630, the upper storey an
addition in 1841 when the peal of eight bells was installed. The north aisle
was built in 1724 and the remainder rebuilt by William Jupp 1778-80. A new
chancel, designed by E W Mountford was added in 1900.
The church, built of London stock bricks, with pitched roofs covered by
slates, consists of an aisled nave with galleries, a later chancel with an
apsidal east end, west tower and clergy and choir vestries at the west end
of the north aisle. There is a south porch; a kitchen and toilets have been
built against the north wall of the clergy vestry. There is a large crypt
below the chancel and a small one under the floor of the choir vestry.
The church is Grade II* listed with the entry at the
