All Saints' church is located on the west side of Heol Eglwys. It was built as an estate church in 1900-03 at the expense of Robert Llewellyn beside the gates of his house, Court Colman, to both his designs and those of John Jones. It is constructed of coursed, rock-faced Pennant sandstone with ashlar dressings and coped gables on moulded kneelers under slate roofs with crested ridge tiles. Designed in Early English to Decorated style the church is of cruciform plan with a lofty two-stage crossing tower with a polygonal turret on its south-east side rising to the lower stage only, nave, chancel and gabled porch on the south-west.
Inside, the walls are faced with green Quarella stone and banded with yellow Ham Hill stone. The nave has an arched-brace roof with wind braces and with a frieze of arcading above the wall. The chancel has a boarded wagon roof with cherubs at the feet of the ribs. Fittings include the reredos of pink Penarth alabaster, and gilt and black mosaic, and white marble figures; a Quarella stone pulpit made at the Royal Danish Porcelain Factory in Copenhagen, also using Penarth alabaster and Ogwell marble; and the font of Carrara marble, a copy of Thorwaldsen's Angel Baptism in Copenhagen, comprising a life-size sculpture of an angel on a slate-coloured marble base. Stained glass includes work by Powell's.
