The church was rebuilt several times but by the nineteenth century was deemed too small for the growing congregation, being able to accommodate less than 400 of the 1,400 people of the parish.

The churchyard of the original church is now an open space known as All Saints' Garden and contains a memorial cross designed by Basil Champneys in 1882.

[4] The final ornament was a weather vane, donated by the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, and fixed in place by the priest and author Herbert Mortimer Luckock, later Dean of Lichfield.

Fittings by Bodley include the alabaster font, the pulpit, south aisle screen, textiles, pews, candlesticks and tiles.

Its function was not purely liturgical as its cornice hid a large support beam which had been added to bolster the chancel arch from the massive weight of the spire.

In the north wall of the nave are three windows by Charles Eamer Kempe and one by Douglas Strachan installed in 1944 which features depictions of Elizabeth Fry, Josephine Butler, Edith Cavell and Mother Cecile Isherwood.

In October 2021 a new collaboration between the Churches Conservation Trust and The Arts Society Cambridge saw the introduction of a regular programme of events at All Saints'.

Other projects in 2022 include FABULATION, an art exhibition inspired by the interior decoration of the church and created by Jennifer Campbell, Toby Upson, Cathy Lomax and Luke Burton.

Also a live performance of ghost stories by M. R. James with Robert Lloyd Parry, an Autumn exhibition on the textiles of the church and a traditional magic show.

Money raised from ticketed events goes to support restoration of the interior lighting, and equip the church with toilet facilities and running water.

In July 2023 the volunteers will mark the 50th anniversary of the last service to be held at the church by highlighting the efforts it took to rescue All Saints' from demolition as well as celebrating its optimistic future.

The church will also celebrate the coronation of King Charles III and take part in Heritage Open Days/Open Cambridge as well as a third October Fest.
