All Hallows Twickenham

All Hallows Twickenham is a modern Anglican church with a brick basilica structure and a transept connected through a columned courtyard to a tower. The building features a functional layout of spaces designed for worship and gathering.

The church incorporates architectural elements from All Hallows Lombard Street, which was demolished in 1937, and received Grade I listed status in 1952. This reuse of significant components connects the history of these two buildings.

Inside, ornate woodwork reflects 17th-century craftsmanship traditions, including a carved and gilded pelican in the altar space that represents religious sacrifice. These details show how earlier artistic forms have been preserved within a modern building.

Access to the building begins through an entrance foyer and continues through the open columned courtyard to reach the main worship space. Visitor parking is available on site, particularly during events at nearby sports venues.

The ten bells in the church tower originally came from St Dionis Backchurch and were first moved to All Hallows Lombard Street before reaching their final home here. This multiple relocation of the bells tells a story of preservation across generations.
