Allhallows was historically a chapelry within the ancient parish of Aspatria.[2] It took its name from a chapel of ease dedicated to Allhallows (All Saints), which was built in the 12th century to serve the eastern part of Aspatria parish.[3] By the 18th century, Allhallows was deemed a separate parish.[4]
Fletchertown was developed as a mining village in the 19th century, growing to become the largest settlement in the parish. A new church, also dedicated to Allhallows, was completed in 1899 at a new site on the main road between Fletchertown and Watchhill.[5]
