St Mary, High Road, South Woodford
From the street, one sees the east end of a church which was added in 1888-89 by W.O. Milne to a church by Charles Bacon from 1817. However, a fire in 1969 reduced the church to the tower and a shell. It was rebuilt in 1971-72 to designs by John Phillips to produce a wide, open space with a side chapel next to the former east end. Many monuments from the previous church (and its predecessor) survived the fire and are mounted around the walls.

Attractively set on a green with a pond next to the church. It dates from 1853-54 by Charles Ainslie and restored after fire by W.G. Bartleet 1886.
Holy Trinity, Mossford Green, Barkingside
In quite a large churchyard it was designed by Edward Blore 1839-40, with a chancel added by J.P. St Aubyn in 1867. A watercolour in the vestry suggests that N. Cachemaille-Day had prepared plans for a new chancel in 1937 but this did not materialise.
St Peter, Aldborough Road, Aldborough
Fields to the north and suburbia to the south. A small church of 1863 by Arthur Ashpitel.

St Mary Magdalene, East Ham
In essence a small Norman church but after considerable neglect it was restored by J.T. Micklethwaite 1891-96 and several times subsequently. It is over a mile south of the town centre and the churchyard, which is very large is now a formal nature reserve.
