ALLHALLOWS, LONDON WALL.

This church takes its name from being dedicated to All Saints, and London Wall is of course added to denote its situation. History does not tell us when it was founded, but there were £220 expended on the old church in the year 1627, and it escaped the dreadful fire of 1666. The present structure was erected A. D. 1767. It is situate on the north wall of London, in the ward of Broad-street, but the parish is in the wards of Broad-street, Bishopsgate, Lime- street, and Aldgate. It is a rectory in the gift of the Lord Chancellor or Lord Keeper for the time being, said to be worth about £600. Rector, Rev. Archdeacon Nares. — No Lecturer. — Parish-clerk, Mr. Thomas Jeune.

Allhallows In The Wall. A church in Broad-street Ward, built by the younger Dance, in 1765, and so called “of standing close to the wall of the City.” The old church escaped the Fire, but in 1764 had become so dangerously dilapidated, that an Act of Parliament was obtained for its removal, and the present church erected at a cost of 2941l. The first stone was laid 10th July, 1765, and the church consecrated 8th September, 1767. In the chancel is a tablet to the Rev. William Beloe, the translator of Herodotus, and twenty years rector of this parish, (d. 1817). Nares, so well known by his “Glossary,” was his successor in the living, (d. 1829). Over the Communion Table is a copy, by Sir Nathaniel Dance, of Cortona’s picture of “Ananias restoring Paul to sight,” a present from the painter.
