All Saints Church, Douglas

Known as the "Tin Tabernacle" due to its corrugated iron exterior,[2] All Saints was established as a chapel of ease for the growing population of Douglas attached to St. George's Church.

[3] After demolition of the "Tin Tab," the new All Saints was consecrated by the Bishop of Sodor and Man, Eric Gordon, on 20 April 1967.

Notable from the interior of the building are the twelve 'Apostle' windows on north side of the sanctuary, made of thick glass from Gothenburg with each in a different colour; the East gable made from Pooil Vaaish black limestone; the font of grey-green Irish limestone decorated with a pattern found on the Cross of Gaut now housed in Kirk Michael; and the Rosso Francia altar which features birds carved into its side as one of the All Saints Building Committee was a keen amateur ornithologist.

[3] An architectural guide to the Isle of Man estimates the building as of importance:[3]All Saints is the Island's best and most intact Modernist building, although built well into the Late Modernist period when the early heroism was often replaced by cynicism.After leaks began to appear and the walls were found to be "wringing wet" with condensation, an architectural survey was commissioned.

[5] The diocese deemed this to be ’unjustifiable’ in the contexts of the parish and the church on the Isle of Man, and so determined that the building should close.
