Hastings, Sussex
All Saints Church
The current All Saints Church was built in 1436 and was more than likely erected on the site of a much earlier church building. It is very similar to the much older St Clements Church with its perpendicular architecture.
All Saints is often referred to as the 'upper church' and St Clements as the 'lower church'.
Restoration on All Saints and St Clement's was directed by William Butterfield in the 1870s and the interior retains a mural above the chancel arch depicting Doom.
From 1660 to 1674, the Rector was Samuel Oates, father of the infamous Titus Oates.

It contains many interesting features including a fine painting of the Last Judgement, the Doom over the chancel arch (rediscovered in 1870) and a fine Father Willis organ built in 1878 which has remained tonally unaltered since its construction. A series of Organ Concerts takes place every summer by leading Cathedral and International recitalists.
