St Mary's Church, Ilford
St Mary's Church, Ilford or St Mary's Church, Great Ilford is a Church of England parish church in Ilford in the London Borough of Redbridge.[1] A new ecclesiastical parish for Great Ilford was split off from that of Barking in 1830 and its church building completed the following year. Its first vicar was appointed in 1837 - its advowson was initially vested in All Souls College, Oxford. A tower was added in 1866 and a chancel, lady chapel and vestries in 1920. St Clement's Church was completed as a chapel of ease for it in 1896, before becoming the parish's main church in 1902.[2]
A complete set of fourteen ‘Stations of the Cross’ was painted for the Rev.Hubert Valentine Eardley-Wilmot in 1916 by the artist Edward Arthur Fellowes Prynne.[3] One of the stations was dedicated to the Vicar's younger brother, Gerald Eardley-Wilmot, who died of wounds fighting in France that year.[4] Three years later, in 1919, Prynne also painted three altar panels for the Church.[5]
