History
In 1896, the Church of All Saints was built by George Fellowes Prynne. It is made of hammer-dressed stone and has a tiled roof. It has late Gothic reredos dating from the 1920s, although the carved altar is from the 17th century.{{English Heritage List entry |num= 1133954 |desc= Church of All Saints |grade= |accessdate=20 May 2017}} Prynne's brother, the leading late Pre-Raphaelite painter Edward Arthur Fellowes Prynne, designed the church's stained glass.{{cite web |last1=Sharville |first1=Ruth |title=Elland, All Saints, Yorkshire |url=https://www.gfp.sharville.org.uk/more/Elland-AllSaints.htm |website=George Fellowes Prynne |access-date=22 January 2022}} On 6 June 1983, the church was designated a grade II* listed building.
=Present day=
The Church of All Saints is part of the Benefice of "Saint Mary the Virgin, Elland and All Saints, Elland" in the Archdeaconry of Halifax and the Huddersfield Episcopal Area of the Diocese of Leeds.{{cite web|title=All Saints, Elland|url=https://www.achurchnearyou.com/elland-all-saints/|website=A Church Near You|publisher=Archbishops' Council|accessdate=20 May 2017|date=22 March 2017}}
The parish stands in the Modern Catholic tradition of the Church of England. As All Saints rejects the ordination of women, the church receives alternative episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Wakefield (currently Tony Robinson).{{cite web|title=All Saints, Elland|url=http://www.seeofbeverley.org.uk/directoryDetail.php?id=327|website=See of Beverley|accessdate=20 May 2017}}
