St Mary Magdalene's Church, Norman church in East Ham, England
The stone building features a semi-circular apse, sanctuary, chancel, and nave based on the Roman basilica layout with numerous architectural modifications.
Founded in 1130, St Mary Magdalene Church stands as the oldest structure in the London Borough of Newham with a Grade I heritage listing.
The church includes an anchorite cell where medieval religious hermits received food from locals in exchange for guidance and natural remedies.
Sunday services occur at 8:00 and 10:00, with additional Wednesday masses at 18:30, except during the month of August.
The nine-acre churchyard functions as a nature reserve with wheelchair-accessible trails, maintaining thousands of graves dating to the 13th century.
