All Saints is recognised as one of the finest churches of the nineteenth century Gothic Revival.
Created by Thomas Peacey, the first Vicar of modern-day Hove, and John Loughborough Pearson, one of the principal architects of the period, the church was described by Nikolaus Pevsner as ‘superb and cathedral-like’.
A Grade 1 listed building, All Saints is the largest of Pearson’s great town churches, superseded in size only by his two cathedrals in Truro and Brisbane. It has one of the finest collections of Christian iconography of the period and its furnishings of carved stone and woodwork, together with the stained glass created by the pre-eminent firm of Clayton and Bell are of an extraordinary high quality.
