Britain's What's On Event Guide
All Saints Church and Canada Hall
Heritage Open Day: All Saints Church and Canada Hall have a unique history connected to the Second World War. Visitors can explore both buildings at their leisure and view the archives that tell their stories. Refreshments and children's activities are provided. The original Victorian church of All Saints was destroyed by a parachute mine in 1941, killing 9 civilians and 1 soldier. A temporary church, now Canada Hall, was built in just under five weeks in 1943 by Canadian soldiers billeted in the area, inspired by their chaplain, Captain George Hedley Wolfendale. It was the only Anglican church built and dedicated during the Second World War. It continues to serve the community as a village hall and retains many of its original features.
