History
An earlier brick-built church in the Compton area of Leek opened in 1863; it was known as Compton Schoolchurch or Christ Church. It was enlarged in 1885.[1]
Joseph Challinor, a Leek solicitor, gave part of the site for a new church in Compton, and contributed nearly one third of the cost. The church was designed by Norman Shaw; he had come to the area in the 1860s to design the new St Matthew's Church in Meerbrook.[1]
The foundation stone of All Saints' was laid in 1885, and the church was consecrated in 1887.[1]
The parish of All Saints was formed in 1889, out of St Luke's and St Edward's. It covered the southern part of the town and Longsdon, a village south-west of Leek. The parishes of St Edward, All Saints and St Luke became the parish of Leek in 1979.[1]
Details
The church has a large crossing tower with clasping buttresses. There is a wide nave, of four bays, and a single bay in the crossing. There is a low clerestory. The church being on a sloping site, the vestry is beneath the chancel. There is a deep porch in the north-west, with a wide entrance.[2]
Interior
Much of the stained glass is by Morris & Co., of which some are to designs of Edward Burne-Jones. The south wall window of the Lady Chapel, and all the painted decorations in the chancel, are by Gerald Horsley.[2][3]
