ALL HALLOWS CHURCH, TOTTENHAM

Building a Sacred Community

The church and congregation of All Hallows, Tottenham exist to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ to the people of our community, and to call them to a living faith in God through him.  We seek to welcome all people into the family of the Church, irrespective of background, capability or circumstances of life.


As we do this, we seek to grow in our own discipleship of Jesus Christ and to draw others to him, so that we may grow in faith and in number ‘until we reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ’.  Ephesians 4:13

ABOUT OUR CHURCH

Committed to Spiritual Enlightenment

All Hallows, Tottenham was founded in 1150 and the oldest parts of the present building are the lower stages of the Tower which date from the early fourteenth century and the columns in the nave. Since the Church was built, there have been constant alterations and additions.

The Medieval church consisted of a tower, nave, aisles and porch. The roof was six bays long. The whole of the present east end and the barrel vault roof of the nave are the work of the Victorian architect William Butterfield who restored the church between 1875-1877.

The Church is built of various materials however the predominant materials are Kentish Rag and Brick.

Since 1544, the parish has been in the gift of the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul’s Cathedral.

ALL HALLOWS CHURCH RECEIVES A LIFELINE GRANT FROM 
THE GOVERNMENT’S CULTURE RECOVERY FUND

All Hallows Church, Tottenham has received a financial boost from the government’s £1.57 billion Culture Recovery Fund to help fund repairs during the coronavirus pandemic. 


Lifeline grants from the Culture Recovery Fund are designed to protect heritage sites and ensure that jobs and access to culture and heritage in local communities are protected during the months ahead. 


All Hallows has been awarded £24,000 for essential construction work which will repair a chimney that is close to collapse. The grant comes at a crucial point because, if left much longer, the chimney could have collapsed causing injury to passers-by, and seriously damaging the church roof. 


Grants of up to £25,000 are being allocated to cherished heritage sites, like All Hallows, across the country to cover urgently needed maintenance and repairs. This vital funding comes from a part of the Culture Recovery Fund called the Heritage Stimulus Fund and is administered on behalf of the government by Historic England.
