The Half-Destroyed, Half-Rebuilt Remnant of St Dunstan's Church

First constructed around 1100, the south aisle was added by 1391. Following repairs in 1631, the church was severely damaged in the Great Fire of London in 1666. Rebuilt between 1668 and 1671, Sir Christopher Wren added a steeple from 1695–1701. Despite these efforts, the church was not spared further misfortunes. By 1817, the weight of the nave roof had caused the walls to shift out of the perpendicular, necessitating a rebuild, which was completed in 1821. However, this rebuilt version collapsed during the Blitz of 1941, leaving only the north and south walls standing. Today, they host the All Hallows House Foundation and a garden offering a tranquil respite amidst the city's chaos.
