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.
Christ Church, Thames View Estate, Barking
On an estate cut off by major roads from the rest of Barking. It dates from 1958-59.

St Margaret, Broadway, Barking, IG11 7JL
In the grounds of Barking Abbey (see the gatehouse tower below) at one end of Barking town centre. Originally a chapel it became a parish church around 1300. It is quite a large medieval church with both an inner and outer north aisle. The font is 17th century with a cover from the 19th century that was attractively decorated in the 20th century. There were a couple of restorations by C.J. Dawson around the turn of the 20th-century. There are many impressive 17th and 18th century monuments all around the church.
