All Saints, Carshalton

The anglican parish church of central Carshalton,
Surrey, England

Exterior

The church's exterior gives little sign of its wonderful interior. The north side, which most visitors see first, is a Victorian facade constructed mostly of flint, giving it a sombre appearance. The south side is earlier and shows signs of the many alterations that have been made over the centuries. The low tower contains a peal of bells that are rung regularly.
