All Hallows was built between 1686 and 1694 by Sir Christopher Wren. It stood for over 300 years in Lombard Street in the City of London, but over time the City's population diminished and so too did the demand for its churches. In the 1930s All Hallows Lombard Street was demolished, but the bell tower was saved and rebuilt in Twickenham in 1940.
"We all thought it was marvellous that the bells which rang out over the City of London would now ring out here." said the Bishop of London.
