All Hallows

Built in 1874-5 for Wellingborough’s long established Independent (or Congregational) cause, its most striking feature is its ovoid shape, most unusual for a British place of worship.

One of the few late 19th century Catholic churches in Northamptonshire, the church is distinguished by some highly original details and has a largely intact and lavishly finished interior.

A thrilling experience: Sir Ninian Comper’s masterpiece built between 1908 and 1930 is a free essay in the gothic style fearlessly mixed with classical appropriations.
