<P> 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 and converted to its present use . It was sold to a property developer in 2011 with the sale due to be finalised in 2014 . </P> <P> The 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 . </P> <P> Attached 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 . </P> <P> 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 . </P>
