All Saints' Church, Childwall

The chancel dates from the 14th century, and the south aisle and porch are probably from the 15th century. Additions were made in the 18th century.

The church is built in red sandstone. Its plan consists of a west tower, a nave with a clerestory, a chancel, a south aisle and a much wider north aisle which extends to the north of the chancel, and a south porch.

The squint is now below ground level, because when the old tower was demolished, the debris was never removed, only smoothed over. The present tower has a large two-light window, a clock on three faces and two-light bell-openings. The spire is recessed behind an openwork parapet…
