All Hallows Church, The church has been here since 1940. The original All Hallows Church was on Lombard Street in the City of London. Christopher Wren designed it after an older church was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666. In the 1930s structural defects were found and it was demolished except for the bell tower, which was transferred here. The church took over the parish of St Martin's Mission Church, which was in Twickenham and a mission of the parish church. The church here was designed by Robert Atkinson and opened in 1940 – with anti-aircraft gun fire being heard during the dedication service. Furniture and fittings also came from All Hallows and a font from St. Benet Gracechurch. Inside is a Renatus Harris 1695 organ, a sword rest for the Lord Mayor’s sword, a pulpit once used by Wesley and there are monuments from All Hallows too. The porch comes from the priory of St.John Clerkenwell and an oak gateway is preserved inside the tower, from the Lombard Street church decorated with skulls and crossbones. The reredos is thought to be the work of Grinling Gibbons.
