All Saints Church, Tooting
church in Tooting, London, UK
All Saints Church is a Church of England parish church in Tooting, Wandsworth, Greater London. The church was designed by Temple Moore and is a grade II listed building.
History
Having been designed by Temple Moore, and funded by a bequest from Lady Augusta Brudenell-Bruce (in memory of her husband Lord Charles Brudenell-Bruce), the church was built between 1903 and 1906.
Due to a conflict between Temple Moore and the first incumbent, the interior decoration was overseen by Walter Tapper. The church was consecrated in 1907. It is Gothic Revival in style. The church consists of a nave with double aisles, a north tower, an aisled chancel, and an eastern Lady Chapel.
On 14 July 1955, the church was designated a grade II listed building.
The church is notable for its fine acoustic and outstanding three-manual Harrison & Harrison organ of 1906. In 2014 the organ was awarded Grade II* listing with the National Pipe Organ Register.

Why this record matters
“All Saints Church, Tooting” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Saints, Church and Tooting provides the most credible route into that argument.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q26640155. Authority coordinates are 51.430, -0.157. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1903, 1906, 1907 and 1955.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
