BECKTON, ST. MICHAEL AND ALL ANGELS
Scope and Content:
The church of St. Michael and All Angels, Beckton Road, East Ham, was opened in 1883 as a mission of St. Mary Magdalene, East Ham. It was destroyed by fire in 1887 and rebuilt, and the temporary iron building was replaced by a permanent church on a new site in 1906 with funds supplied by the Gas Light and Coke Company. A separate mission district was formed in 1922. The church was bombed in 1941 and not rebuilt. In 1952 the mission district was dissolved, and the area once more became part of the parish of St. Mary Magdalene, East Ham.
