The vestry was strewn with vestments and service books, simply abandoned – a disgrace. St Augustine’s was associated particularly with the inter-war ministry of Fr H A Wilson, but its parish was decimated by bombing and post war clearance. The building is by Henry Woodyer, completed 1867 – thankfully it survives though stripped of all its treasures.

I am so enjoying your articles which are introducing me to a part of London to which I am a stranger. Cannot wait to visit and see for myself.

Your daily articles are a continuing source of information.

I lived in Leiston for a few years in the early ’80s. The 1930s East End must have been a shock coming from such a rural backwater.
