"ALLHALLOWS, Barking, the church of, is situated at the east end of Tower-street, and the corner of Seething-lane. It receives its name as having been dedicated to all the Saints, formerly called All-Hallows, and from being before the Reformation a vicarage in the gift of the Abbess and Convent of Barking, in Essex. But on the dissolution of the monasteries the advowson was given to the Archbishop of Canterbury. It escaped the fire in 1666, and is of considerable extent, being one hundred and eighty feet long, sixty-seven broad and thirty-five high; it has a plain bell tower, with a well proportioned turret, about eighty feet in height from the ground. This church is of considerable antiquity, as appears from the circumstance of Richard the First having founded and endowed a chapel within its walls. Its present vicar is ihe Rev. S. J. Knight, who was instituted in 1783." [James Elmes. A Topographical Dictionary of London and its Environs (1831) - transcribed by Brian Randell]
