The Foundation Stone for All Saints Church was laid in 1926. The church was built as a daughter church to St. Barnabas Church at Hengoed, Shropshire and remained as such until the Hengoed church was made redundant in 1981, at which point All Saints became the parish church for 'Hengoed with Gobowen'.

Assuming that you mean the one in Hampshire, there is also one in North East Derbyshire, near to Chesterfield.
