All Hallows, Bow (also known as All Hallows, Devons Road), is an Anglican church in Bow, London, England, in the Diocese of London.[1]

History

Originally built in the 19th century, it was damaged in World War II and rebuilt.[2] The church is in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

The church's Rector is Cris Rogers. In 2010, he led a planting team from St Paul's, Shadwell to All Hallows, Bow.[3] He served as a curate at the church from 2010 to 2014,[4] while Ric Thorpe was Priest-in-Charge.[5] An official re-licensing ceremony took place in 2015. Adrian Newman, Bishop of Stepney, presided over the ceremony. A growing number of people had been gathering in the church to worship prior to this date.

Of another church that survived the Fire of London, All Hallows Staining, the medieval tower can still be seen in Mark Lane in the City. It was saved by the Clothworkers' Company in 1873, when the rest of the church was pulled down. With money from the sale of the site, All Hallows, Bow, was built, but this too was bombed in the Second World War. Its replacement in Devons Road, built in the mid 1950s, reused the core of the Victorian church, but in 2001 the nave was divided off to provide a hall.
