"St. Mary of Eton is an Anglican church at Hackney Wick, London, and a Grade II* listed building. It was built 1890–92 in the medieval Gothic style to serve the Eton Mission, a mission to the East End organised and funded by Eton College.[1][2][3] St Mary of Eton was built 1890-02 by the Victorian architects George Frederick Bodley and Thomas Garner. It is built in red brick with stone dressings. The east side of the church faces onto the main street, and a gateway leads into the courtyard which is surrounded by the old Eton Mission buildings. Eton House was built in 1898 to house the clergy, and in 1911-12, two bays were added in by Cecil Greenwood Hare on the west side of the church. The tower was added in 1912.[7][3] 

In 2013/14, the church carried out a major refurbishment project. The church was re-ordered and restored. Some of the old Eton Mission buildings around the courtyard were redeveloped as residential flats and some buildings were demolished.[3] New apartment blocked constructed next to the church were built with diaper-patterned brickwork to harmonise with Bodley's original church. The development was awarded a RIBA National Award in 2015 for its sensitive design.[8][9]The interior is noted for its tall, spacious nave, bisected by a painted rood screen by Bodley. At the east end, the high altar is backed by an ornately decorated reredos designed in 1930 by W Ellery Anderson.[7] "
