History
The church of All Hallows Staining is first mentioned in 1177; although the origin of the word 'Staining' in the name is unclear. It may be that the site belonged to the manor of Staines. Queen Elizabeth I gave thanks in this church after her release from the Tower of London. The building survived the Great Fire of 1666 but collapsed in 1671, undermined by too many burials. It was rebuilt, but was subsequently demolished in 1870 except for the tower. The church of All Hallows, Bromley-by-Bow, was constructed using the proceeds from the sale of the site. The parish of All Hallows Staining was united to the parish of St Olave Hart Street in 1870.
The Society for the Commemoration of the accession of Queen Elizabeth I was a dining and campanological society.
