Allhallows the Great, situated on the south side of Thames street, was ancient- ly denominated Allhallows the More, and Allhallows ad Fœnum in the Ropery, from its vicinity to a hay-wharf or mar- ket, and situation among rope-makers. The old church with a large cloister on the south side, were consumed in the ge- neral conflagration in 1666, and the present edifice arose in 1683. It was built on Sir Christopher Wren's plan; but in some parts the mason has taken inexcusable liberties. The church is 87 feet in length, 60 in breadth, and the height to the roof is 33. It is built of stone, and there runs thro' the whole, an apparent strength and solidity. The walls are plain and massy, the ornaments are few and simple, and the apertures, tho' large, in order to enlighten so considera- ble a breadth, are not numerous. The tower is plain, square, and divided into five stages, but terminates absolutely square and plain, without spire, turret or pinacles. The cornice is supported by scrolls, and over these rises a balustrade of solid construction, very proper for the rest of the building. Maitland, and English Architecture.

Among the funeral monuments in this church, before its being burnt, was one in memory of Queen Elizabeth, with the following inscriptions: If royal virtues ever crown'd a crown; If ever mildness shin'd in majesty; If ever honour honour'd true renown; If ever courage dwelt with clemency; If ever Princess put all Princes down, For temperance, prowess, prudence, equity; This, this was she, that in despight of death Lives still admir'd, ador'd Elizabeth. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou ex- cellest them all. In the figure of a book above her picture; They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Sion, which shall not be removed. On the right side; Spain's rod, Rome's ruin, the Netherlands relief, Heaven's gem, earth's joy, world's wonder, nation's chief. On the left side; Britain's blessing, England's splendor, Religion's nurse, and Faith's defender. And beneath; I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, &c. Queen Elizabeth died the 24th of March, 1602.
