St John & St Matthew, South End Road, South Hornchurch

Built in 1957 and designed by Ronald Wylde Associates and reordered more recently to give a flexible use building. The sanctuary can now be placed against either a long or short wall depending upon requirements.

St Cedd, Lodge Avenue, Becontree

By Thompson & Whitehead, dating from 1964. It replaced a church built in the 1930s.

St Patrick, Blake Avenue, Barking

Built in 1940 and designed by A.E. Wiseman. Its claim to fame is its eastern round tower, in a very Charles Holden style. Subsequent changes have led to many of the windows being partially bricked up. The two apsidal projections contain a Lady Chapel on one side and vestries on the other.
