The Empty Churchyard of What Was All Hallows Staining, c1935. Creator: Walter Benington
The Empty Churchyard of What Was All Hallows Staining, c1935. The church of All Hallows Staining in the City of London collapsed in 1671, possibly due to weakening of the foundations caused by too many burials in the churchyard close to the church walls. The word Staining, which means stone, was to distinguish it from other City churches of All Hallows which were built of wood. The tower, built c1320, is all that remains of the building. From " Wonderful London, Volume 3", edited by Arthur St John Adcock. [The Fleetway House, London, c1935]

The Empty Churchyard of What Was All Hallows Staining, c1935
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the haunting beauty of the empty churchyard that was once All Hallows Staining in the City of London. Taken by Walter Benington in the 1930s, this image transports us back to a time when this historic church stood tall. All Hallows Staining met its tragic fate in 1671 when it collapsed, possibly due to weakened foundations caused by excessive burials near its walls. The name "Staining" distinguished it from other wooden churches dedicated to All Hallows within the city. Today, only the tower remains as a testament to its former glory. In this monochrome scene, nature reclaims what was once a place of worship. Spring flowers bloom amidst crumbling gravestones and overgrown foliage, creating an eerie yet serene atmosphere. The contrast between life and decay is strikingly captured through Benington's lens. As we gaze upon this architectural relic nestled within bustling London, we are reminded of the passage of time and how history intertwines with our present landscape. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even grand structures can succumb to nature's relentless embrace. Through Arthur St John Adcock's publication "Wonderful London" this evocative image continues to captivate viewers today. It invites us to reflect on our own mortality while appreciating the enduring beauty found within forgotten corners of our urban landscape.
