"ALLHALLOWS, Honey Lane, a small church-yard, upon which stood, before the fire of London, the small church of the above name. Being a very small parish it was united by act of parliament to that of St. Mary-le-Bow in Cheapside. It is a rectory, the adowson of which is in the Grocer's Company, which since its union with the above-named parish, and that of St. Pancras, Soper-Lane, present alternately with the Archbishop of Canterbury. Honey-lane Market, small as it is, occupies the site of two ancient parish churches; the one at the head of this article, and that of St. Mary Magdalen, Milk-street, which was also destroyed by the great fire in 1666." [James Elmes. A Topographical Dictionary of London and its Environs (1831) - transcribed by Brian Randell]
