The parish of All Hallows Bread Street was united to the parish of Saint John the Evangelist Friday Street in 1670.
The united parishes of Saint John and All Hallows were joined with the united parishes of Saint Mary, Saint Pancras and All Hallows Honey Lane in 1876. The church of All Hallows Bread Street was demolished in 1876. The church of Saint Mary remains a parish church.
