It was saved by the Clothworkers' Company in 1873, when the rest of the church was pulled down. With money from the sale of the site, All Hallows, Bow, was built, but this too was bombed in the Second World War. Its replacement in Devons Road, built in the mid 1950s, reused the core of the Victorian church, but in 2001 the nave was divided off to provide a hall.}}</ref> The church was damaged by bombing in the Second World War and was rebuilt in 1954–1955 by A P Robinson who retained only the core of the original building and created a new church in the "Early Christian" style.<ref>{{cite book |editor1-last=Cherry |editor1-first=Bridget |editor2-last=O'Brien |editor2-first=Charles |editor3-last=Pevsner |editor3-first=Nicholas |editor3-link=Nicholas Pevsner |date=2005 |title=The Buildings of England: London 5, East |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=EW7k2KA4UkwC&dq=%22+Ewan+Christian.%22+all+hallows+bromley+by+bow&pg=PA603 |location=London |publisher=Yale University Press |pages=603–604 |isbn=0-300-10701-3 }}</ref> In 2001, the nave was divided by a screen to create a church hall.<ref name ="telegraph"/> The church is in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and the Diocese of London.
