St Mary and Holy Trinity

Bow, London, Greater London

Address

St Mary and Holy Trinity
Bow, London
Greater London
E3 2AB

The church was founded in 1311 but most of the fabric dates from the 1400s, with the addition of a 16th century painted ceiling to the chancel, 18th and 19th century restorations, and in the 1950s, the rebuilding of the top of the tower in brick with a landmark timber clock turret and cupola following WW2 bomb damage. The simple neoclassical style of the clock turret and south porch suggests that the church is a graphic memorial to the war damage inflicted on the East End.
