Spire, All Saints Anglican Church, Whitby
This Gothic Revival style church built in 1865 is pretty old by Canadian standards.
Side doors
Sadly, this heritage church has twice been badly damaged by fire, once in 1927 and the second time in 2009. Parishioners as well as other local citizens rallied to raise funds to restore this beautiful building.
I love the hinges on the doors!
Stained glass windows
Yes, the Church windows I posted last Friday are part of this church, but towards the rear of the building. As you can see, these windows have reflections in them too.

Kocham budowle sakralne. One mają w sobie niepowtarzalny klimat. Słyszę w nich szepty modlitw i zapisane ludzkie pragnienia. Gdziekolwiek jestem, zwiedzam kościoły. Serdecznie gratuluję Ci pięknych zdjęć, które u Ciebie nieustannie podziwiam:-)
The side doors are really intricate and awesome.

When I was looking at the photo of the side door, I was thinking how much I love those hinges! I hope they can get the building restored, and then stop trying to set fire to it!
I'm glad this beautiful old church has been restored. Your photos are marvelous.
Those doors in the second shot are gorgeous!
The church and side door have a lovely medieval feel most commonly seen in Europe. It is a great entranceway to discover fascinating tidbits from the past inside this building.
i, too, like the doors.
Beautiful Gothic images, all of them are superb.
What an old beauty. So glad the parishioners save the old girl. Love the old brick and the doors are beautiful. Cool reflection. MB
Olá, é uma linda igreja, está bem recuperada e fotografada.

I like those doors.
A beautiful church. I thought it was the same church as your other post! Glad you are showing us more. The windows and door are lovely! So glad they kept at it and repaired the damage.
what a magnificent edifice! I love the arches and the hinges- exquisite.
There's a feel of our Cathedral here.
I like gothic style (in architecture) , and this Church is really beautiful!
Beautiful!
Such hinges you can even find in Germany, I like them too.
Have a nice week
What a steeple and door, love them both. Tom The Backroad Traveller

What a truly lovely church! Great photos. Really love that door!
She's an old beauty! I love the doors, and the windows- so pretty.
I really like the red-brick churches. This is wonderful. Regards.
Oh, my, goodness....this is absolutely wonderful. LOVE the doors! Did you by any chance take a close-up shot of the hinges? They are amazing.
No easy task to preserve a building like this.
It's a beautiful building and I especially love those doors. Nicely photographed.
Have you ever brought yourself into St. George's Ukrainian Catholic Church in Oshawa (just off the 401)? It's also a real treat for the eyes and camera lens.
The tower or is it the bellfry is so high that it look majestic trying to reach the sky. Glad to know that people cared much to restore this beauty.
I'm so glad it has been restored - it's a beauty, EG!
So many beautiful details on that church. It's great that it is being carefully looked after and restored when necessary.
It is a beautiful church and good that it has been saved.
Colorful church ... I like !
This is a beautiful building.Too bad that it has suffered damage over the years.I do hope it was an accident.
Love the doors, those hinges are very special! You seem to be in Whitby quite a lot. I really don't know that area very well. maybe I should go on an adventure there one day.... not very far away from me!
I love the spire.
Lovely church, beautiful door!
Makes one feel solid and righteous just to see that spire

I miss our Anglican church in Dallas. Baton Rouge does not have one that even remotely resembles the Gothic architecture of this one and the one we were members of before.
Gorgeous church and wonderful shots especially the steeple ~ great angle!
Happy Week to you,

This is a beautiful old church. I also like the fancy hinges on the doors. It's wonderful that the parish can keep the church 'up' which is not the case in many cities these days.
What a beautiful old church and spire! It's wonderful that it was restored instead of demolished.

Old by Canadian standards, but that would be a young building my way. Gorgeous tone s in the gothic door
They are glorious doors. The whole building!!!!
It would be old by our standards, here in Australia too. Beautiful architecture and great images.
That's a beautiful church. Too bad that it has had fires to deal with.
I love the door. I see a design trend on doors with the Anglican churches.
Worth a Thousand Words
i am curious why you call it rubbish? i would say it would be perfect for my link up on Saturdays/Sundays "InSPIRED Sunday? but to each his own i guess. have a great week. ( :
It is a magnificent place! I love that blue on the spire.
Beautiful building. I especially like the doors.
No matter how many times rebuilt, the artisanship in the stonework, hinges and windows still shines and the copper roofs spire fits so well with the re brick. Lovely.
Beautiful architecture. We just don't see this kind of craftsmanship in our more modern times.
So wonderful someone restored it. Would been a terrible shame to see such a grand structure go to waste. The cross on top of it looks as tho it almost touches the heavens.
I have frequently seen doors and hinges like that, and I love them every time.
I used to have relatives in Whitby, but they have gone to the great beyond now.
Nice photos, especially your first one.
I love the old church and the fact that enough people care to preserve it.
Hi Tina,
The side doors are very beautiful.
Never seen one like that in person.
So, thanks for sharing it with all of us.
Have a Beautiful Day!
Peace :)
Beautiful church, I liked the structure and the colors.
Stunning church.
Looks like a beautiful church with a rich history! I love those doors!!
Lovely pictures as always, love the hinges shot..
Lovely door and brickwork.
there's so much to look at and something new every time - great photos!
Truly magnificient!
A beautiful building! xx
Churches ... one of my favorite subjects. Almost always "photogenic". Nice work!
These kinds of lovely built buildings, especially churches with towers and spirals and such, are truly a treasure to behold.
Considering the beauty of the outside, I would guess the interior is also quite magnificent!
Yes, that is a very old building for the Americas. It's beautiful in every respect, steeple, windows, brickwork, and even hinges - the largest and most ornate I've ever seen.
Such a gorgeous church. I was surprised when you said the black swirly things on the door were hinges. Very cool.
Take 25 to Hollister
Beautiful intricate designs on this gorgeous church.
