Geocache Description:

All Hallows Church is a unique red-brick building designed by the architect  Munro Cautley. The church was built in 1938 to replace what is now the church hall as the centre of Anglican worship for the parish and has recently been granted Grade II listed status.


All Hallows

The following is taken from Simon Knott's Suffolk Churches website.

All Hallows is by far the most interesting of the three churches which Diocesan architect and renowned medieval historian Munro Cautley designed for Suffolk. Here is a building of great liveliness, much more so than his more prominent and well-known St Augustine of Hippo nearby, built some 10 years earlier. There, perhaps, Cautley was reacting against the unashamed Modernism of Felixstowe St Andrew, a late 1920s church in the Evangelical tradition by Hilda Mason and Raymond Erith. But at All Hallows he went a step further, and produced what was perhaps the last Art Deco church in England. It must already have seemed old-fashioned, to be building in the late 1930s a perfect example of the Jazz Modern enthusiasm of the 1920s. Across town, Cachemaille Day was building St Thomas in a cool, neo-Scandinavian style. The clouds of war were already gathering, and the architecture which would follow the peace of 1945 would be quite different, a deliberate rejection of what was seen as the ossifying conservativism of the likes of Art Deco.

 

Growing up this was my Parish Church which is the reason for placing a Church Micro here.
