Information about our beautiful church:
On 28th December 1866, by Order of the Privy Council the Benefice was united to form the Parish of Nether Poppleton with Upper Poppleton. All Saints' Church is situated on The Green, on the western side of Hodgson Lane, midway between the Station Road and Beech Grove junctions.
The present All Saints' Church was preceded by a Norman Church referred to as All Hallows which was taken down in 1890 and the building of the present Victorian Church of All Saints' commenced in 1891 to the designs of Hodgson Fowler, a leading ecclesiastical architect of his day, based in Durham. A small number of stone features from the earlier buildings were incorporated in the present structure. The opening ceremony for the new All Saints' Church took place in July 1892 and was presided over by the Archbishop of York. In recent times the Chancel was reordered and a new vestry, named after William Bentley, was added in 1981 to an extended North Aisle under the direction of R G Sims. The Church comprises of a Nave with open Porch to the South, Chancel, North Aisle, North Vestry with link block connecting to the North Aisle and a Tower & Spire standing on the West gable of the Nave. The Church stands in an extensive Churchyard, slightly elevated from the public car park & road on the North West side of the village green. A small brick-built store stands adjacent to the Vestry. The East Window was replaced in July 1949 with the current splendid design by Harry Stammers.
