The Mortality Bill for the year 1665 , published by the Parish Clerk’s Company, shows 97 parishes within the City of London[2]. By September 6th the city lay in ruins[3], 86 churches having been destroyed[4] by the Great Fire of London. By 1670 a Rebuilding Act had been passed and a committee set up under the stewardship of Sir Christopher Wren to plan the new parishes[5]. Fifty-one were chosen, but All Hallows, Honey Lane was one of the unlucky minority never to be rebuilt[6].

It was situated in Honey Lane, at the north-west corner of Honey Lane Market in Cripplegate Ward Within, in the City of London[7]. Early spellings include

  • All Hallows de Honilane 1279
  • All Hallows in Honylane 1287
  • Parish of Honylane 1297[8].

A very small parish[9] with Lutheran sympathies[10] it was united with St Mary-le-Bow[11], although the name also lived on as a ward precinct[12]. The site became first a market[13] and is now occupied by the British Telecom shop at 114 Cheapside[14]. Partial records survive at IGI[15].
