The road to the left of their shop is All Saints Road. The road on the right is the continuation of Hewlett Road. Also leading to this roundabout is Fairview Road on the left, and Leighton Road on the right.

Dist:0.2km<br/>According to the listing record http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=474075 'Around the entrance are statues of SS Augustine, Lawrence, Stephen, Paul, Agnes, Christopher, Sebastian and Martin.' This is one of them. Two others are [[2359859]] and [[2359854]] Whilst I do not know which saint this is, I am fairly sure it isn't St Agnes

Dist:0.2km<br/>This fine work on the west elevation is by a sculptor named A B Wall (his inscription is visible at the extreme lower right of this image). Present are a number of saints, a reference to the name of the church. There are more saints elsewhere on the front elevation. The listing details state: 'EXTERIOR: west facade has several groups of sculpture representing the Church Militant and Church Triumphant; carved west tympanum with Christ enthroned; entrance has 6 orders of arches on granite shafts, angels carrying coats of arms of benefactors and of the architect. Around the entrance are statues of SS Augustine, Lawrence, Stephen, Paul, Agnes, Christopher, Sebastian and Martin.' from http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=474075

Dist:0.2km<br/>The church dates from the mid 1960s and 'was established in 1868 by a group of local people anxious to establish in Pittville a style of worship not generally found in Cheltenham, using the rich liturgy and colour of the 19th century Oxford Movement.' from the church website http://www.allsaintschelt.net/past and present.htm It is part of the Anglo-Catholic tradition but is linked to the Church of England via the North Cheltenham Team Ministry. The church building is listed Grade I http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=474075

Dist:0.2km<br/>This is the front of the memorial, but unfortunately being set against the background of the church, with similar coloured stone, it is not too easy to make out the details. For more about the memorial, please see:- [[2311270]].

Dist:0.2km<br/>This war memorial has been placed within the church grounds, by the corner of All Saints Road, and All Saints Villas Road. It is not Cheltenham's main War Memorial, which is to be found in the Promenade, in the town centre. The memorial at All Saints Church, is in respect of those connected with the church who died in the Great (First World) War of 1914-18. There are 103 names recorded, but due to weathering, many names are illegible. Fortunately the Church has a parchment Roll of Honour, on which all the names are recorded. The War Memorial, which dates from around 1920, is Grade II listed. Part of the listing text says:- "The memorial is in the form of a Calvary scene, with Christ on the cross flanked by figures of Mary Magdalene and the Virgin Mary and set on a tall plinth inscribed with the names of the fallen. The Lamb of God is carved on the rear face of the cross-head". [[2311285]].

Dist:0.2km<br/>Mason & Stokes are a family run firm of funeral directors. They were established in 1853 by Thomas Stokes in the Cotswolds. The son of the founder set up in Cheltenham in the 1920's. The move to Hewlett Road was made in 1987. The only things Tudor about Tudor Lodge, are the name & the mock timber-frame appearance.
