History

Construction

In 1914, Fr Algernon Lang came to Oxted and sought a suitable location for a church for the local Catholic population. He bought a house at 12 Chichele Road and decided to build the church on the land directly behind the house. The house itself was built in 1913 from materials gathered from a demolished house in Godstone. The foundation stone of the church was laid on 3 August 1914, the day before the start of World War I. [3]

Work continued until December 1914. By that time, the sacristy, crypt and chancel were completed. Work recommenced after the war ended. The exterior walls of the church were completed on 7 December 1920. [3] The sanctuary and nave were design by James Leonard Williams. He also designed St George's Church in Sudbury, and died in 1926, before both St George Church and All Saints Church were completed. [4]

Interior

Interior construction continued until 6 July 1927 when the church was consecrated. The rood screen was designed by Williams. The ceiling, organ gallery and reredos were designed by Geoffrey Webb. The reredos is a painted copy of the Coronation of the Virgin by Fra Angelico, it was designed by Webb and built by Robert Bridgeman of Lichfield. [4]
