The Churches Of Britain and Ireland

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.
