(St.) Mary de Berkyngcherch, Chapel

(St.) Mary de Berkyngcherch, Chapel:    Chapel of St. Mary de Barking founded on the north side of the church of All Hallows, Barking, by King Richard I. Called "capella beatae Mariae de Barking" (S. 132).

   Bequest to chapel of St. Mary by the church of All Hallows Barking Church, 1310 (Hist. MSS. Com. 9th Rep. App. p. 46).

   This seems to be the earliest mention in records.

   Thos. Pilk directed that he should be buried in the churchyard of All Hallows, near the chapel of St. Mary de Berking, near the Tower, 1350-1 (Ct. H.W. i. 645).

   Pulled down 1548, used as a garden plot until temp. Q. Elizabeth, when a strong house for merchants' goods was built there (S. 133) and used by Sir William Winter. The Navy Office occupied the site according to Povah, p. 293, but it seems to be too far north, and it is not even in the parish.
