St Matthew, Bethnal Green, Anglican church building in Bethnal Green, England
The church features a prominent western tower topped with a cupola and contains a post-war interior decorated with modern ecclesiastical art.
George Dance the Elder designed and built this Grade II listed church between 1743 and 1746 as part of London's Commission for Fifty New Churches.
The interior holds numerous art pieces, including a Lady Chapel with Peter Snow paneling, a Kim James bas-relief, and wall paintings by Barry Robinson.
The church maintains regular Anglican services and contains a collection of bells cast in 1861 by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry of George Mears.
The former burial ground surrounding the church transformed into a public garden in 1896 through the work of landscape designer Fanny Wilkinson.
