All Saints Pastoral Centre was a conference and retreat centre at London Colney on the southern outskirts of St Albans, Hertfordshire, England. The All Saints building was designed by Leonard Stokes in 1899 and built in 1901, originally as a convent for the Anglican Society of All Saints Sisters of the Poor. The building was acquired by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Westminster in 1973[1][2] and converted to its present use. It was sold to a property developer in 2011[3] with the sale due to be finalised in 2014.[4] DesignThe main structure is built around a garden and has an inner cloister leading to the meeting rooms. The building has adapted to modern requirements but has retained its original beauty. The centre today caters to both residential and non-residential conferences, meetings and retreats mainly from the religious sector, and has good transport access to the diocese via the M25 motorway and Radlett Mainline station, both close by. Comper ChapelAttached to All Saints is an example of design by architect Ninian Comper. The first half was completed in 1927. Due to demands for space it was expanded by Sir Ninian's son Sebastian in 1963. In the west end of the chapel below the rose window is a Harrison & Harrison organ.[5][6] From the roof of the Comper Chapel, accessed via the bell tower, a panorama stretching from Radlett around to St Albans is visible. From the roof the join between the more recent Sebastian and original Ninian chapels can be seen with the use of a cross brace securing the north and south walls.[5][6] References1. ^{{cite book|author=John Julius Norwich|title=Treasures of Britain: the architectural, cultural, historical and natural heritage of Britain|publisher=W.
