This sketch plan shows how the interior of the church will be laid out once our planned works are completed. For further details of particular features click on the relevant box.

We will build a New North Door to provide access to the church from Kingston’s main shopping street.

We will enhance the heritage of the whole building with new lighting and imaginative displays.

As part of a carefully considered reordering of the interior, the altar will be moved to a position in the centre of the nave.

The East End - the oldest part of the church - will be marked out as a place for community and spirituality

All Saints Church was not built in one go and has grown up over the centuries as a group of connected areas rather than as a single unified space. The new layout recognises this by delineating different areas for different purposes and making movement from one area to another as easy as possible.

As part of this, the altar is to be moved from underneath the Tower to a central location in the main body of the building, the nave. We will however be moving the font—currently somewhat isolated in the East End—to where the altar currently stands, so that an important Christian symbol will remain at the heart of the building.

Moving the altar to the centre of the nave will allow far greater ease of movement around the building. This will enhance the role of the Trinity Chapel as a place of quiet prayer and reflection, as well as the venue for our midweek services. It will also continue as a place of remembrance for the East Surrey Regiment.
