Parish History[edit | edit source]

The complex history of the churches on different sites is available at Kent Family History Society.

The Ancient Parish of All Saints was merged with Canterbury St Alphege, Kent in 1902 but the building remained in use as a hall until 1937 demolition.

Canterbury Garrison Church was renamed All Saints Church in 1974.

The church and parish of 1800 is referred to in Edward Hasted, 'Canterbury: The churches within the city and suburbs', The History and Topographical Survey of the County of Kent: Volume 11 (1800), pp. 209-288. at British History Online
