All Saints' Church at Boyne Hill is a Grade I listed Church of England parish church in Maidenhead in the English county of Berkshire.

Background

The church is one of the finest examples of the early work of the architect G. E. Street and was completed in 1857. The site is also regarded by many as the premier architectural site in Maidenhead. The unique complex consists of the church surrounded on the south side by the Old Vicarage, former school and two clergy houses. On the south western boundary is an almshouse.

The font cover was donated by the family of William Bissley who was killed at the Somme 1916. The Font cover was made by B. Fellowes-Prynne, Messrs. Hartson and Peard. Ref www.iwm.org.uk/memorials/item/memorial/70622

The church was founded in the Anglo-Catholic tradition of the Church of England and remains within that tradition today.[1]

Organ

The church contains a pipe organ by J. W. Walker & Sons Ltd dating from 1879. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.
