Introduction
The parish church of St John the Evangelist faces Havering Village Green, and is built on the site of a 12th-century church of St Mary's, formerly one of the Palace chapels.

The oldest among the graves is that of Thomas Cheek (d.1688), Lieutenant of the Tower of London and owner of nearby Pyrgo Park.
