The church is the continuation of Christopher Wren's All Hallows Lombard Street, in the City of London, which was demolished in 1939 and its stone square tower, bells, stone cloister, and interior fittings and furnishings moved to the new site in Twickenham [REF].
The church is also a continuation of St Martin's Mission Church, which had stood about half a mile to the south since 1914.
