Listed Buildings
Statutory Register
A listed building is a building, object or structure that has been judged to be of national historical or architectural interest.
Listed Buildings are included on a register called the 'List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest', drawn up by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.
English Heritage act as administrators on behalf of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport in relation to listed buildings.
Barking and Dagenham now has 42 listed buildings and structures on the statutory list:
- 3 Grade I listed buildings (Parish Church of St Margaret, Eastbury Manor House, and the Garden Walls of Eastbury Manor House)
- 4 Grade II* listed buildings (Fire Bell Gate (or Curfew Tower), Valence House, the Church of St Peter and St Paul and the Eastbrook Public House added in December 2009)
- 35 Grade II listed buildings with St Patrick's Church added in March 2009, the Baptist Tabernacle added in May 2010, the War Memorial at Rippleside Cemetary, and Chadwell Cemetary Chapel both added in August 2010
The Statutory Listed Buildings (

The borough also has a local list of 129 buildings of local architectural or historic interest. The Local List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham ( PDF 3.28M) was reviewed and adopted in April 2009 and has been updated to remove the Eastbrook Pub, the Baptist Tabernacle and the Chadwell Heath Cemetary Chapel.
The conservation areas in Barking and Dagenham were also reviewed at the same time.
In the Act any object or structure fixed to the building and any object or structure within the curtilage of the building, which although not fixed to the building, forms part of the land and has done so since before 1 July 1948 are also treated as part of the listed building.
