History and Architecture:
All Saints' Church was erected, and was probably opened and dedicated on or near to the Festival of All Saints, November 1st, 1868. The Church was originally erected amidst beautiful surroundings, a mile or so from Forth, on the Leith Road, and here, in this secluded spot, lie the remains of many pioneers of the district.
All Saints' Church was removed to the site where it now stands at Forth in the year 1893. About this time a change was made, when it was decided that the Incumbents should reside at Ulverstone, but in spite of the change, there remained a devoted body of members at Forth.
Clergy:
