All Hallows-on-the-Wall escaped the Great Fire in 1666, but was rebuilt by George Dance the Younger in 1767; it was subsequently damaged in the Second World War and reopened in the 1960s. Its parish, constrained by the medieval walls of London (remains of which can be seen on the left of the picture) stretches around the north-east quadrant of the City, in places only a few yards wide.
