All Saints Notting Hill is a Church of England parish church in Talbot Road, Notting Hill, London that is affiliated to the Anglo-Catholic Forward in Faith movement.[1] The church is built in a Victorian Gothic Revival style with striking polychromatic decoration. For heritage purposes the church is a Grade II* listed building.[2]
History
The building of All Saints' Church was begun in 1852 for the Reverend Dr Samuel Walker. Walker was a wealthy property speculator one of several buying up land in the area that was then to be known as Kensington Park.[3]
The church was designed by architect William White, working with Sir George Gilbert Scott as to be the centrepiece of Walker's local property development, and a church without pew rents.[4]
Walker's property speculation in the area was a financial failure and he sold his interests to others speculating on property in the newly emerging area of Kensington Park.[5]
As a result, the church-building was left unfinished for a number of years during which time in some quarters it received the epthet "All-Sinners-in-the-Mud".Шаблон:Sfn
All Saints was eventually completed in 1861 at a cost of £25,000, without its spire,[4] for the incumbency of Reverend John Light of Trinity College Dublin.[6]
The tower is Шаблон:Convert high and is said to resemble the Medieval Gothic Belfry of Bruges, Belgium.Шаблон:Sfn
All Saints suffered serious bomb damage in The Blitz of World War II,Шаблон:Sfn along with neighbouring buildings including Pinehurst Court, at 1–9 Colville Gardens. The first bombs fell on 26 September 1940, and the church was hit again in March and June 1944. The Lady Chapel and the south transept chapel were destroyed.[4] Restoration work was completed in 1951.[7]
Clergy
From 1931 to 1961 the vicar was the outgoing and gregarious Fr John Twisaday, who established the high church worship tradition at All Saints. The present vicar is Fr Philip Corbett SSC, who was inducted in 2019.

Organs and Organists
Organs
- 1862-3. The church's first organ was built by Gray & Davison having first been displayed at the 1862 International Exhibition.[10] It was located in the south transept of the church. This position led to some criticism:
- The north transept of All Saints', Notting Hill, was designed by Mr. White, specially for the reception of the organ, and with this end in view he fenestrated it with a large traceried rose placed high up in the wall [...] the authorities caused the organ to be placed in the south transept, thus completely blocking up a very beautiful four-light window. The effect of the opposite transept, with the blank wall space left perfectly bare, is very unpleasing. [...] The organ in question, by Gray and Davison, occupies an elevated position, and has the somewhat unusual appendage (for a modern instrument) of a choir organ.[11]
- 1902. A new three-manual organ by Norman and Beard was installed,[12] in the north chancel and north transept.[13]
- 1952. The organ was reconstructed by Percy Daniel & Co, Clevedon, with the pipe-work placed inside the tower speaking into the church via an opening onto the west gallery.[14]
