All Saints, Rockwell Green
The late Victorian building was consecrated on 18th February 1890 on land given by Samuel Dobree. The prime benefactor was local industrialist Frederick Thomas Elworthy with generous support from other members of his family. The tower with its landmark spire was added in 1907 and a peal of six bells installed in 1909. The pulpit and font, carved in Hamden Hill stone, are the work of the renowned Wellington sculptor William Giles, and the church also features many fine stained glass windows including the east window which depicts Our Lord with saints from the Old and New Testaments.
