St Elisabeth, Wood Lane, Becontree
In the centre of the estate, dating from 1931-32 by Sir Charles Nicholson. I have a full set of interior images but I have been requested, by the churchwardens, not to display them on the web.
St Mary, Grafton Road, Becontree
Built in 1934-35 by Welch, Cachemaille-Day and Lander in an unusual 1930s version of gothic. The organ and war memorial came from the demolished Rams Episcopal Chapel at Homerton.
St Thomas, Burnside Road, Becontree
The first Anglican church on the estate, from 1926-27 by Arthur C. Blomfield.
St Vincent, Waldegrave Road, Becontree (Roman Catholic)
1932-34 designed by Geoffrey Raymond at the north west end of the estate.

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.
