History
The church was built 1873–74 on land donated by Earl Spencer, and the foundation stone was laid by HRH Princess Christian of Schleswig-Holstein on 22 April 1873. The church was consecrated by the Bishop of London on 25 April 1874.{{citation needed|date=August 2020}}
The building was designed by George E. Street, working with William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones. The windows are the most extensive glazing scheme by Morris & Co. in any London church. Most of the cartoons (original drawings) for the windows were created for buildings elsewhere (seven were taken from designs drawn in 1874 for a church in Calcutta). All but two windows are the work of Morris & Co., the majority being drawn by Burne-Jones, and six by Morris himself. The windows pre-dating 1896 would have been designed (i.e. colour of glass, painted detail) by William Morris,.{{cite web|url=http://www.parishofputney.co.uk/allsaints/as_church_history.html|title=All Saints Church Putney History|accessdate=29 November 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203004345/http://www.parishofputney.co.uk/allsaints/as_church_history.html|archive-date=3 December 2013|url-status=dead}}
