"ALLHALLOWS, Bread-street, the church of, is situated at the corner of Bread-street and Watling-street. . . It was originally a rectory of very ancient foundation, under the patronage of the Prior and Canons of Christ Church, Cambridge, but since the reformation it was conveyed to the Archbishops of Canterbury, of which see, it is one of thirteen peculiars within the city. The old church was destroyed by the great fire in 1666. and the present edifice was erected from the designs of Sir Christopher Wren, as a church for the united parishes of St. Allhallows, Bread-street, and St. John the Evangelist, the old church of which stood at the north-east corner of Friday-street and Watling-street. . . Its present rector is the Rev. G.T. Andrews, one of the six preachers at Canterbury, who was instituted in 1816."[James Elmes.
