Creative Exploration of All Saints Church

religious

In 1136, the Lord of the Manor (Geoffrey de Mandeville) gave the church as an endowment to the Abbey which he founded at Walden in Essex. Surviving medieval features of the church include the chancel, the nave, the north aisle, the vestry and the tower. The eight bells in the tower weigh from 5 to 15 hundredweights. Five of them date back to the 1700s, one to 1866, and two to 1959.

The Green is an underutilized natural asset located at the heart of Edmonton Green Town Centre. The Pavilion, co-designed with the local community plays a crucial role in supporting the proactive use of the space and fosters a stronger connection to the area. This initiative informs The Green's long-term vision through ideas and feedback gathered from a programme of community led activities.
