History
The Grade I listing was made on 25 October 1984 as list entry 1358002. There has been a building on the site since at least the late twelfth century and three blocked clerestory windows survive from that phase; the west tower was added around 1400, when the chancel arch was rebuilt. The tower clock mechanism dates from 1857 and was built to Lord Grimthorpe's design, the prototype of the Big Ben movement. The font is dated 1707 and carries three churchwardens' names, reflecting the ancient parish's division into three wards. The church also holds a relief and possible font remains from Stratford Langthorne Abbey, royal arms given by Thomas Holbrook in 1804 and a reredos by George Gilbert Scott of 1865-69. The abbey precinct survives as a scheduled monument in Abbey Gardens, Bakers Row, E15 3NF, NHLE 1003775, of 0.18 hectares, and carries no grade.
