St Michael, Tilbury Road, East Ham (Roman Catholic)
Designed by A.J. Newton of Newton and Burles and built in 1959, in a quiet street near Central Park. Since my original photos were taken in 2013 it has had the nave ceiling removed, new lighting, carpets and colour scheme. These are shown in the upper gallery followed by the older scheme.

St George and St Ethelbert, Burford Road, East Ham
Deep in residential East Ham a brick church of 1935-37 by Newberry and Fowler inspired by Hereford Cathedral and partly paid for by that diocese. A Romanian Orthodox congregation also uses the church, hence the Orthodox fittings stored in the north transept. All the stained glass is by Goddard & Gibbs from the late 1950s to the early 1970s. The interiors are from 2025, exteriors are from 2013 and one from 2025.
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.
