the new church built in 1854-8 by g.g.scott has deeply cut naturalistic capitals on the tall columns dividing the nave and aisles of this hall church, built barn-like to cope with the huge crowds attracted by the eloquence of the rector, thomas jackson, in the mid c19. burned out in the war, the interior can seem a little bleak, and the roofs are definitely a bit thin after the promise of the spire and capitals.

the vast new hall church was built in 1854-8 by g.g.scott with tall thin columns topped with deeply undercut naturalistic capitals, each differing from the others. unfortunately, the church was gutted in the blitz, and the modern roof does little positive for the interior, especially in the nave, which uses timber of thin scantling and what look like asbestos panels. oh, for a gambier parry; or let me at it!

the new church was built in 1854-8 by g.g.scott over the road from the old ; this ornate pulpit shows the original richness of the fittings before the 60s destroyed what the blitz had left.

the rare wren screen from all hallows the great was donated by the german merchant theodore jacobson in c.1685 and moved here when that church was demolished in 1894. the eagle is supposed to refer to herr jacobson's nationality : they appear on the pulpit tester from the same source, but such national symbols were in a state of flux then, and he may as well have come from holland as germany in any case ; it seems suppositious at best anyway, case unproven i'd say.
