Church of St Mary, Overton Drive, Wanstead E11 - Redbridge
This church of 1790 was designed by architect Thomas Hardwick in the neoclassical style. The chancel is designed around the monument to Sir Josiah Child. The west end supports a Doric portico, hipped slate roof and a timber clock tower with open belfry and cupola. The interior has been redecorated and retains all original furnishings. The Portland stone masonry is spalling due to rusting cramps. Two elevations, including the clock turret, were repaired in 2018, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Funding is being sought for the repair of the two remaining elevations.
