All Saints Church is a Parish church of the Scottish Episcopal Church located in the Jordanhill area of Glasgow, Scotland.

History

All Saints' traces its beginnings in 1853, when Jane Charlotte Smith founded a school for miners and other labourers who lived in the Jordanhill area. Jordanhill Mansion, Jane's own home, was initially used for these gatherings, and then moved to a barn where Episcopalian services were held as well. In 1861, Jane founded a chapel school for children, while ecclesiastical services continued to be held by visiting priests. By 1892, a curate was appointed to minister in Jordanhill.^[1]

Work on the current church was begun in 1904 when the foundation stone was laid on 26 March 1904. The church was dedicated on 1 November 1904 by Bishop Ean Campbell of Glasgow.

Works of Art

The church was designed by James Chalmers. Chalmers chose a cruciform Neo-Norman style, and added a nave, aisles and transepts. Stugged red ashlar was used to build the church.^[2]

The interior is adorned with a number of carved oak reredos, designed by Sir Robert Lorimer. Some were painted by Phoebe Anna Traquair, one of two examples of her work in Glasgow. The church also includes a total of nine stained glass windows. The Triple Oriel east window was installed in 1911 and dedicated to the memory of Jane Charlotte Smith, which depicts Christ in Majesty.^[3]
