All Saints' Church is an Anglican church in Leek, Staffordshire, England. It is a Grade I listed building. It was designed by Norman Shaw, and built in 1885–1887; the church has stained glass by Morris & Co.
An earlier brick-built church in the Compton area of Leek opened in 1863; it was known as Compton Schoolchurch or Christ Church. It was enlarged in 1885.[2]
Joseph Challinor, a Leek solicitor, gave part of the site for a new church in Compton, and contributed nearly one third of the cost. The church was designed by Norman Shaw; he had come to the area in the 1860s to design the new St Matthew's Church in Meerbrook.[2]
The foundation stone of All Saints' was laid in 1885, and the church was consecrated in 1887.[2]
The parish of All Saints was formed in 1889, out of St Luke's and St Edward's. It covered the southern part of the town and Longsdon, a village south-west of Leek. The parishes of St Edward, All Saints and St Luke became the parish of Leek in 1979.[2]
