ALL HALLOWS,  DEVONS ROAD, BROMLEY-BY-BOW, E3.

Consecrated on the 16th of May, 1873, All Hallows, Bromley-by-Bow is one of three churches erected out of the sale proceeds of the site of the church and parsonage of All Hallows Staining, Mark Lane, which under the provision of the Union of Benefices Act 1860, and a Special Act obtained by The Grocers’ Company (Lady Slaney's Trust Estate 1869), was pulled down and the parish united with that of St Olave, Hart Street.

Having been united in 1990 with the parish of Holy Trinity, Mile End Old Town to create a new team ministry, in March 2003 it reverted to being a single parish within its original boundaries. It is now called the Benefice and Parish of All Hallows, Bromley-by-Bow. The patronage is held jointly in their corporate capacity by The Bishop of London and The Grocers’ Company.
