All Hallows is an Anglican church in Tottenham, North London. It is one of the oldest buildings in the London Borough of Haringey,[1] being built as All Saints Church in the 12th century. It was re-dedicated as All Hallows in the 15th century,[2] standing adjacent to Bruce Castle and Tottenham Cemetery. It is reputed to have been given to Tottenham by King David I of Scotland, strengthening its connection with the Bruce family who were owners of Bruce Castle.[1] The church is part of the Diocese of London and its clergy have included William Bedwell[3] (from 1607) and John Howard Churchill, later Dean of Carlisle.[4] It has been painted many times, including by William Ellis, John Preston Neale, William Henry Prior, John Thomas Smith,[5] Jean Baptiste Claude Chatelain[6] and John Constable.[citation needed]
The church houses eight bells,[7] one of which was donated by Dr. Humphrey Jackson in 1801 and is said to be taken from the Quebec garrison.[2] These make up the largest ring of bells in the borough,[8] There are yew trees in the churchyard imported from Ireland more than 1000 years ago.[1]
E. L. Sprylions, of the All Hallows Bible class, was the instigator behind the formation of Tottenham Hotspur F.C. in 1882.[3]
