All Saints' Church, Nottingham is an Anglican church in Nottingham, England.
The church is Grade II listed by the Department for Culture, Media & Sport as it is a building of special architectural or historic interest.
It was formerly the Parish Church of All Saints', Nottingham, and then became one of the two churches of the parish of Nottingham, St. Peter & All Saints', on their merger in December 2002. Following a further merger in September 2007, it became one of three parish churches within the parish of All Saints', St. Mary's and St. Peter's, Nottingham. The building itself is a large example of Victorian church architecture.
A map of the parish is available on Google Maps.
The church was built in 1863–64, mainly in sandstone. Along with the church, a large parsonage and a church school were built at the sole cost (some £10,000) (equivalent to £890,000 in 2015), of William Windley JP, a local philanthropist. With all of the ancillary building, the total cost was £25,000 (equivalent to £2,220,000 in 2015).
The church was built in Gothic revival style to seat 500, and has a fine broach spire reaching 175 feet (53 m) tall (8th tallest building in Nottingham) and housing a ring of ten bells (the heaviest weighing 16 cwt). The architect was Thomas Chambers Hine, of Nottingham.
The church was consecrated on 3 November 1864. 1200 crammed into the 800 seats and there was a large attendance of clergy. The choir of St. Mary's Church were accompanied by Miss Fanny Brookes on the harmonium. The Rt. Revd. John Jackson, Bishop of Lincoln, performed the consecration service in the presence of the new pastor, Joshua William Brooks.
