Old Church of St Mary, Stoke Newington Church Street, Stoke Newington N16 - Hackney
The old parish church of St Mary dates from 1563. It was restored in 1827-29 by Charles Barry who added the clerestory, the spire and the outer north aisle, subsequently lost in WWII. The exposed soft brick of the north wall is weathering badly. In 2017 the south aisle roof was repaired with a grant from the Listed Places of Worship Roof Repair Fund. Further work is needed to deal with dampness and investigate and monitor worsening structural movement of the ceiling. In 2020 Historic England awarded a Covid-19 Emergency Heritage at Risk Response Fund grant for repairs to the tower windows.
