St Andrew's Church, Plaistow

St Andrew's Church was a Church of England church on Barking Road in Plaistow, east London.[1] It began as a small mission built in 1860 on Whitwell Road by St Mary's Church, Plaistow. A permanent church designed by James Brooks opened in 1870 on a site just south of the northern outfall sewer embankment and a separate parish assigned to it the following year. In 1903 it opened the mission hall that later became St Cedd's Church, Canning Town - the mission district for it was split off from the parishes of St Andrew's and St Luke's. St Andrew's suffered heavy damage during the London Blitz but was extensively repaired after 1945.

The church was Grade II listed in 1984[2] and now houses offices[3][4] its parish is now within the Parish of the Divine Compassion.[5]
