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.
Our Lady of Compassion, Upton Park (Roman Catholic)
A church of 1911 by R.L. Curtis. A photo at the end shows the former West Ham football ground which was by the church in 2013 and is now replaced by a housing development.
St Martin, Boundary Road, Upton Park
A small mission church of 1894, altered by Cornell and Vermeulen 1991-97. Inside at the west end there is a downstairs room and a gallery office above.
St Mark, Silvertown (former)
One of S.S.Teulon’s major buildings dating from 1860-62, standing almost alone normally, but currently partly surrounded by a crossrail construction site. As at St Stephen’s, Rosslyn Hill the church stood disused and vandalized, before being restored as Brick Lane Music Hall between 1984-89 by Julian Harrap.
