St Barnabas and St James, Walthamstow
In backstreets south of the town centre, a large red brick church by W.D. Caroe 1902-03. The tin tabernacle from 1900 called Stafford Hall is just down the road past Caroe’s contemporary vicarage. One of the baptistry windows has a rare bell signature for Clayton & Bell. The side altar with figures on its reredos comes from the demolished Cutts church St James.
St John the Divine (Former), Mawney Road, Romford now Triumphant Chapel
North west of Romford town centre is the former parish church of St John. It was designed in a byzantine style by W.D. Caroe in 1927 but only the sanctuary was built, it was completed in 1932 by Herbert Passmore with a west wall by Laurence King in 1979. It was declared redundant in 2010 and was in the hands of The Redeemed Christian Church of God on my first visit in 2013. In January 2020 it is used by Triumphant Chapel/Christ Heritage Assembly based in Barking and the grounds are padlocked.
