About All Saints
The Parish Church of Sedgley has its history dating back to Norman times and the names of the Clergy are known since 1184. The present church was rebuilt in 1829 in the Gothic design, the foundation stone was laid on the 9th September 1826.
The church has three roofs which cover the central nave and two side isles. Its present tower (containing a peel of eight bells) contains within it an earlier tower. It has a capacity to seat 1309 people. At the opening ceremony in 1829 the organ which had been installed during the rebuilding was first used, it had originally been in Westminster Abbey and had been used during the coronation of the then reigning monarch (George IV).
The parish was later divided into five ecclesiastical districts, Sedgley, Lower Gornal, Upper Gornal, Ettingshall, and Coseley, with churches built to serve the latter three districts
