Not every statue in London. The ones worth crossing the road for: Roman wall, medieval ruins, and the monuments that earn a detour.
A tower of about 1320, and the only part of its church that did not fall down.

Staining means stone, and the name was how Londoners told this one from the other All Hallows churches, which were timber. It came through the Great Fire of 1666 untouched and then collapsed five years later anyway - the foundations undermined, it was said, by too many burials packed in against the walls. The church was rebuilt in 1674 and described afterwards as nothing more than a long narrow room. In 1870 the parish was merged with St Olave Hart Street and the rebuild was demolished, the proceeds paying for a new church out at Bow; the medieval tower was left where it was, and the Clothworkers have looked after it ever since.
