The park itself was presented by Christ's Hospital charity, who ran the almshouses. Little was developed until the later 1870s, but Albert Park heralded a new era of... [more]

All Saints' Parish Church was rebuilt in 1837 by William Fisher from Oxford, who kept the plain 13th-century west tower and reused several windows, doorways and arches. He was mainly a builder, but designed a few churches, including St Ebbe's in Oxford (1814-17). Above the porch door is a niche with a modern statue of Jesus with two lambs.
