Plaistow, Newham history

Medieval and Tudor

Hugh de Balun was a property-owner in Plaistow in the 12th century. He belonged to the same family as Hamelin, Hamelin and Hamelin. The manor was given to the abbot of Stratford-Langthorne when it was dissolved in 1553.

18th century

Daniel Defoe’s 1724 work, “Tour of the Eastern Counties” mentions Plaistow as a town in which there had been much new building as well as repairs to existing houses since the Glorious Revolution. The Black Lion public house in the High Street is reputed to date back to at least 1742.

19th century

Plaistow, Essex, was a chapelry as well as an Anglican parish in its own right in 1861. The population of the chapelry was recorded as 11,214 in 1861, with a population of 6,699. The area gained several new Anglican churches in the second half of the 19th century – St Philip’s in 1860, St Andrew’s in 1868, St Katherine’s, St Martin’s and St Thomas’s in 1898.

1900–1995

Memorial Baptist Church was built in 1921 as a monument to the dead of the First World War. Memorial Bells bear the largest number of names on any set of bells in the world. In 1965 Plaistow became part of the new London Borough of Newham, formed when West Ham joined with the County Borough of East Ham.

1995–present

West Ham and Plaistow New Deal for Communities was awarded £54.6M to bring about improvements to the local area over a 10-year period to 2010. In March 2010, the NDC set up Newham New Deal Partnership (“Newham NDP”), a Not-for-Profit organisation, to continue providing community benefit to the area and beyond.
