All Saints Church is located in Elizabeth Street, Preston, Lancashire, England. It is an evangelical Anglican parish church in the deanery of Preston, the archdeaconry of Lancaster, and the diocese of Blackburn.[1] The church was built in 1846-1848 for the sum of £2000. It was built in the Classical style with six Ionic columns supporting a pedimented portico facade, and is now Grade II listed.[2] It was one of the few churches in the country to be built by subscription and set up under Private Patronage.[3] They are currently in an interregnum as their vicar, Daf Meirion-Jones, has moved to Chessington Evangelical Church and they are awaiting their new vicar, Nathan Buttery, to arrive in January 2017.
