All Saints Margaret Street (The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of All Saints)

Description

All Saints’, Margaret Street, is a parish of the Church of England, forming part of the Diocese of London. We were created as a parish in 1859. Since that foundation have sought to bear witness to the Christian Faith within the Anglican tradition bequeathed to us by the Oxford Movement.

Our Grade I listed church, built by the architect William Butterfield, is one of the earliest and most famous neo-gothic buildings in London. It is the most well-known parish to first embody the life, liturgy and principles of the Tractarian and Anglo-Catholic Revival within the Church of England in the capital.

Our parish has since its beginning had a very particular and outstanding choral tradition. For the first 100 years or so of our life, we had a choir school with a men and boys choir. The choir school closed in the 1960s and since then our choir has been staffed by professional male and female voices. It is highly respected as one of the finest church choirs in London.

All Saints’ has a rich and varied liturgical round of services each week: two celebrations of the Eucharist on each week day; with our choral High Mass and Evensong on Sundays. Our services are live streamed and we have an extensive and wide spread community of online worshippers.

Our parish undertakes a very wide range of activities each week including: theological teaching and formation; the catechesis of those preparing for the sacraments of initiation; the visiting of the sick and house-bound; ministry to the dying; work with our young adults; and projects focused on alleviating homelessness and destitution in Westminster.
