St Paul (former), Chelmer Road/Glyn Road, Homerton now Clapton Community Seventh-day Adventist Church
A large cruciform church in a grid of suburban streets. It is by Henry Cowell Boyes and dates from 1890-91. The chancel is now dominated by an organ, from the disused Methodist church of Annfield Plain, County Durham installed in front of an east wall painting of Christ in Majesty by Eva Allen Andrews dating from 1898 to 1900. Prior to it being a Seventh Day Adventist church it was used by the Celestial Church of Christ, who installed, now removed, low ceilings in the chancel and north aisle. The north aisle partitioning dates from its Anglican days. It became in March 2006, the Clapton Community Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Immaculate Heart of Mary & St Dominic, Kenworthy Road, Homerton (Roman Catholic)
By C.A. Buckler 1875-83, but gutted in 1941 and rebuilt by John E. Sterret 1955-57 with much stained glass added by Goddard and Gibbs in the clerestory. The north aisle currently (May 2022) has a series of artworks from the Misereor Lenten Campaign.
St Barnabas, Homerton High Street
By Arthur Ashpitel 1845-1847, with the north aisle added in 1851. After WW2 damage, in 1944, it was rebuilt by William C. Lock with the chancel converted to ancillary rooms and reopened in 1958. The large paintings by Alfred Soord came from St Andrew, Bethnal Green, as were other furnishings now replaced. The WW1 memorial is carved into a nave pillar rather than a wall memorial. A full-height creche has been inserted into the southwest corner, but there are now plans to re-order the west end with a mezzanine and community facilities.Â
