Bromley by Bow: How Memorial Gateway
This fine arched entrance and a few old gravestones are all that is left of the former church of Bromley St Leonard, which was destroyed by bombing during the Second World War. The gateway, which led into the churchyard, is in remembrance of the Reverend George Augustus Mayo How (1840 - 1893), vicar of the parish for twenty years. The churchyard beyond is now a Playspace.
The Gateway is listed in English Heritage's Buildings at Risk register of 2008, where its condition is described as poor. From the list it is described as a gable stoned gothic arch with double buttresses at each side.
