A character appraisal of the Church Street and Fore Street Conservation areas in Edmonton, commissioned by Enfield Council in 2009, reported that: ‘The key to the character of the area is All Saints’ Church, a building of medieval origin whose 15th century tower... represents the ancient heart of Edmonton…’

All Saints was placed on the English Heritage Building at Risk Register in 2010. The 2012 Register describes the church as in “Very Bad” condition and states: “Following a very bad winter; the tower stonework and roofs are now in a very poor condition”.

With the church having to close in 2021 during Advent due to loose masonry, it is was a necessity to work to find a more long lasting solution and this was the start of the process to apply for a National Heritage Lottery Fund grant.

The grant of £215,833 was awarded in December 2023.
