St Patrick's Church is a grade II listed church on Blake Avenue in the Eastbury district in Barking. It was formed in 1924 as the temporary Church of the Ascension, which was turned into a parish hall in 1940 after being replaced by the permanent brown-brick church, dedicated to Saint Patrick and designed in the Moderne style by A. E. Wiseman. A parish was formed for the permanent church in 1939 by splitting an area off from that of St Margaret's.'The borough of Barking', in A History of the County of Essex: Volume 5, ed. W R Powell (London, 1966), pp. 235–248. In 1959 Christ Church, Barking, was added to the parish of St Patrick's as a chapel of ease.
