All Hallows Bread Street, Church building in City of London, England
The church stood at the intersection of Bread Street and Watling Street, featuring eight round-headed windows on its northern frontage.
First documented in 1227, the original structure was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666 and subsequently rebuilt by Christopher Wren between 1681 and 1684.
The church served as a baptismal site for poet John Milton in 1608, marked today by a commemorative stone plaque at St Mary-le-Bow churchyard.
The building was demolished in 1876 due to declining parish numbers, with its materials sold for £32,254 to fund construction at East India Dock Road.
Two priests from the church had to walk barefoot through Cheapside and Cornhill as penance following a physical altercation in 1551.
