In April 2012 a new
era in the life of All Saints’ Church began, as the Reverend
Dr David Benton McConkey was formally installed as
Priest-in-Charge of All Saints Northampton with St Peter and St
Katharine. We remain exceptionally grateful to our team of
Assistant Priest - The Reverend Dr Nicholas Aldritt,
The Reverend Geoffrey Neale, The Reverend Canon Frank
Pickard and The Reverend Canon Paul Rose, and our
Licensed Reader Mr Fred Norton – who worked so hard to
keep All Saints going throughout the three-year interregnum. The
Churchwardens are Councillor David White and Mrs Jill
Davidge. |
Further information on Fr. David can be found

There are over 100 musicians who regularly lead the services
at All Saints. We are lucky enough to maintain the only
remaining boys’ choir in the county, and there is also a
separate girls’ choir. These top lines are supported by
twelve choral scholars and six lay clerks. They are led by
the
Director of Music, and an Assistant Organist. The choirs
sing for the Eucharist and Evensong each Sunday and for
Evensong on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at six o'clock.
They also carry out a busy programme of concerts and tours,
more details of which can be found in the Music Department.
There is also a volunteer choir, The All Saints' Singers,
who lead the worship at our 12.30pm mid-week Eucharist on
Red Letter Days.
Further information on the Music Department can be found
here. |
