Background
Architecture
Construction work on the church started in 1867. It was designed by E. W. Pugin. It was paid for by Sir Humphrey de Trafford, who also paid Pugin to design to St Ann's Church, Stretford. In June 1868, the church was opened by Cardinal Henry Manning. From All Saints Church, priests started missions in the area to serve the local Catholic communities. These missions eventually became churches, such as St Teresa of Avila Church in Irlam, English Martyrs Church in Urmston, and Holy Cross Church in Eccles, The church has timber pews, stained glass and gargoyles. There is a carved stone altar and reredos. The church also contains a painting depicting E. W. Pugin with a plan of the church.
