Standing at the junction of Llanfair Road (right) with School Lane (ahead right) and Commercial Street. The church was built in 1890 at the expense of Sir Pryce Pryce-Jones as a "chapel-of-ease" for the parish at Llanllwchaiarn. It is an early work by Aston (later Sir Aston) Webb who went on to much greater things, including Admiralty Arch, The Mall, and the East Wing of Buckingham Palace in London. All Saints is of Llanymynech limestone with Grinshill (Shropshire) freestone dressings and has an unusual octagonal tower. The grid line runs diagonally through the church building, just to the left of the tower.
