SITE DETAILS

Fuller information:

The parish of Benhilton was created in 1863 when the expansion of the local population in Sutton necessitated a separate church. The foundation stone of the new church, which was designed by architect S.S. Teulon, was laid in the same year. Thomas Alcock, Lord of the Manor, gave £18,000 towards the building, together with the land for the church, vicarage and a school. The church was undoubtedly intended to be a key amenity for Benhilton Estate, an area of upper class housing that Alcock was developing to the east. All Saints' Church was badly damaged in WWII but it was later restored.
