All Souls at Akroyden. Opened about 1860, and designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott. According to Pevsner, Scott regarded it as his best work. Sadly, he used a soft local stone, which has weathered badly, and the building is now no longer used for services, as it's considered unsafe. A private trust looks after the building. The West door.
