ALL SAINTS, WARLINGHAM, SURREY - This humble little church, on the road from Croydon to Westerham, is to be restored, and to receive the addition of a north aisle, under the care of Mr R. J. Withers. The design is very commendably carried out, and Mr Withers has shown judgment in retaining the form, while improving the detail, of the little wooden belfry. The new work, though of great simplicity, shows character. We could wish that the existing external demarcation of nave and chancel had been preserved. We hope the displaced lancet in the nave north wall may be, if possible, retained.[ Ecclesiologist, December 1856 page 459-60]

ALL SAINTS, WARLINGHAM, SURREY — We have inspected Mr, Withers’ detailed drawings for this restoration, already noticed by us in our last volume. They possess very great merit, and are excellently carried out. The only feature to which we object is the unusual and inelegant arrangement of the arcade to the new aisle. The arches are depressed and die off without capitals against the responds and the cylindrical central shaft. The material is flint, with stone dressings. [Ecclesiologist April 1857 Page 132-133].
