All-Hallows-the-Less was a church of medieval origin. It was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666 and not rebuilt. Instead of rebuilding the church, the parish was united with that of All-Hallows-the-Great, and the site of the old All Hallows the Less was retained as a burial ground. (Very active in the late 17th Century and early 18th Century.)

All-Hallows-the-Great itself was demolished in 1894, and the united parishes were in turn joined with that of St Michael Paternoster Royal under the Union of Benefices Act 1860. In 1896 some remains were disinterred from the churchyard and reburied at Brookwood Cemetery.

The last physical evidence of the existence of All-Hallows-the-Less, an old watch house, was destroyed during the Second World War.
