All-Hallows-the-Great, Baroque church building in City of London, England

All-Hallows-the-Great exhibited classic baroque features with rounded windows and substantial stone walls along Upper Thames Street in London.

First mentioned in 1235, the church was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666 and reconstructed under Christopher Wren's supervision between 1677 and 1684.

The church supported the German community from the nearby Steelyard and housed a grammar school established by Henry VI in 1447.

The church building underwent partial demolition in 1876 to accommodate street widening, leading to a new tower construction on its south side.

The church's rich furnishings included a rood screen that was later transferred to St Margaret Lothbury when the building closed in 1894.
