The All Hallows project is within the Cathedral parish where there are the remains of a bombed-out church. The one aisle that remained after the War was a functioning church until 1970.
The building then became a recording studio until 1990 (it was where Alison Moyet and Depeche Mode amongst others cut their disks). Since then the church has stood unused, though the garden around it has been maintained by the local community.
The All Hallows project aims to turn it into a vibrant community space for use by the local residents.
