Summary

Description
English: Statue of St Ethelburga on of three niche figures above the north porch of All Hallows Barking.They are by Nathaniel Hitch and to John Loughborough Pearson's design. They survived the German bombing in 1940. The Church was restored and is now All Hallows by The Tower/St Dunstan in the East. Some photographs of Hitch’s sculptures are shown below. The three figures are St Ethelburga who was the sister of Erkenwald the founder in the seventh century of Barking Abbey and the original church on this site had belonged to that Abbey, the Virgin and Child and Lancelot Andrewes. Andrewes had been Bishop of Winchester in the reign of James I and was baptised in All Hallows. Both Bishop John Fisher and Archbishop William Laud were buried in All Hallows Barking and it was from the church tower that Samuel Pepys saw the Great Fire of London. William Penn was baptized in the church and President John Quincy Adams was married there. The Revd P.B.”Tubby” Clayton was the rector of All Hallows in the inter-war years and the TOC H lamp burns perpetually on a tomb chest at the east end of the church’s north aisle
