All Saints' Church, Reading

All Saints' Church is an Church of England parish church in the town of Reading in the English county of Berkshire. The church is on "Downshire Square", a tree lined square in West Reading close to the Bath Road.

The church was built between 1865 and 1874, as a daughter church of the Minster Church of St Mary, to serve the growing population of the Bath Road area. It was designed by the architect James Piers St Aubyn. The construction is of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and weathered buttresses. The roof is tiled, and the church has a five bay aisled nave with a short transept. The interior includes a painted arcade, a rich five window apse, and mural mosaics. The church is categorised as a Grade II listed building by English Heritage.cite web | url = http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=38898&mode=quick | title = Images of England - Church of All Saints, Downshire Square, Reading | publisher = English Heritage | accessdate = 2007-11-30]
