LAYING THE FOUNDATION STONE OF ALL SAINTS' CHURCH, PERRY STREET. Saturday last witnessed the laying of the foundation stone of a church for the Perry-street district. Some time ago a clergyman, the Rev. A. Jackson, was appointed to the charge, and from the period up to the present the services have been held in a Mission Room... It is to be built of Kentish rag ... There will also be a bell turret rising from the chancel arch. The cost of the work at present in hand will be about £3,000.
