St Dunstan In The East (Great Tower Street), was rebuilt in 1817-1821, but gutted in 1941. It was united with Allhallows Barking by the Tower in 1960. Parish records are in the Guildhall Library: baptisms, 1558-1816; marriages, 1558-1939; banns 1754-89 and 1821-51; and burials, 1558-1853. The baptismal registers for the years 1816-1938 were damaged beyond repair in 1941. The IGI includes a partial index for 1558-1880 of baptisms and marriages only.
