The orientation of the church is almost exactly east to west. There are two clock faces with flat-bed Westminster movements, supplied by Joyce and Co of Whitchurch. The construction is from ashlar and red and grey Grinshill sandstone (obviously!).
There is circumstantial evidence from St Augustine’s record of early Christian sites that a ' little wooden church’ stood on the same site in 599. Stone was used thereafter as described elsewhere but it is worth noting that in 1578, parishioners “took matters into their own hands”, presumably because they were unhappy with the state of their current church, by raising £6.13s.3d to repair the chapel and appoint their own Minister. A Deed of 10th August of that year concerning “Reparation of the Clive Chapel” outlined the following..........
“Between Thomas Newans of Myddle and the curate of the Clyve on the one partie, and Humprey Onslowe, William Wicherley, Richard Russell, Roger Russell and the rest of the inhabitants of Clyve and Sansaw on the other partie, witneseth that the said inhabitants in consider[ation] that their chappell ys so farre out of reparations are contented towards the repariage thereof to give unto the said Thomas Newans and unto his assigns, the summe of sixe poundes, thirteen shillings and three pence of good and lawfull money of England towards the reparinge of thesaid chappell. And further…that they will convey all thinges needful for the reparations as ofte as neede shall require as tymber, shingles, stones, lyme, sande, water, clay, leade and iron and whatsoever shall be necesserie to set the said chappell in repracion and from tyme to tyme to mayntayne the same…… And the said Thomas and his assignes to maintayne divine service in the same chappell during his natural life.”
The first major restoration occurred between 1628 – 54, a second in 1849, followed by a complete transformation between 1885 – 87 through the generous patronage of J.J. Bibby, owner of the Liverpool shipping line and Hardwicke Grange and Thomas Meares, a tea plantation owner living at Clive Hall when they engaged the architect C.J. Ferguson to dramatically redesign the building.
The village of Clive itself is not mentioned by name in the Domesday Survey, but probably representing the part of Broughton held by the church of St Mary, Shrewsbury in 1086. It was assessed as having “5 hides, with a priest and 7 villans, and woodland sufficient for 24 pigs”. It was still held by the Dean and Canons of St Mary's in the 14th century.
A particular feature of All Saints is the extensive graveyard featuring a wide range of stone monuments carved by local masons. The grounds are maintained by the Church Conservation Group. It is said a visit in March to view the display of spring bulbs is highly recommended.
I also recall, from many years ago, a gravestone with an unusual inscription. It might have been something to do with the deceased having been a practical joker and the date being February 29th for a year which was not a leap year.
David Cranage, in his book 'An Architectural Account of the Churches of Shropshire', writes... “Few churches in Shropshire are so elaborately fitted up. The carving of the font, pews, lectern, pulpit, screens is as fine as can be seen almost anywhere in a modern building”.
The village of Clive lies 7 miles north of Shrewsbury and to the west of Grinshill Hill, where sandstone was formerly quarried. The village is accessed via a network of minor roads leading off the A49 and B5476 between Shrewsbury, Whitchurch and Wem. The tall spire of All Saints Church can be seen for miles around and is a noted landmark. The single-aisled church is mainly 19th century and described as 'Gothic Revival'. The church was extensively restored in 1885-7.

Although these pictures were taken in June, it was a very dull day and the church interior itself is only ever dimly lit at the best of times. This is largely due to the absence of clerestory windows and the less than optimal transparency of the Clayton and Bell stained glass windows. So the pictures of the interior look a bit brighter than they should, only because I raised the exposure and shadow compensation when I processed them. Otherwise, it would be difficult to see any detail at all. The stained glass window pictures are as they appear in real life and are mostly straight .arw to .jpeg conversions with little or no adjustment.
