A short history of E3

Queen Matilda reputedly took a tumble into the Lea crossing in 1110 and ordered a bridge built in the shape of a bow, which gave Bow its name. The earliest record of the settlement, under the name Stratforde, dates from 1177. In 1311 St Mary's Church was authorised as a chapel of ease for the isolated hamlet. Bow became a parish in its own right in 1719 and its bridge was widened in 1741. The bridge was rebuilt in 1834. Bow joined the County of London in 1888 and the Metropolitan Borough of Poplar in 1900. Bow Common developed as an industrial area supplying London's gas and St Paul's Church there was rebuilt in 1960. The area has 120 listed buildings and six of them are Grade II* including the Church of St Mary Stratford Bow and 26 Tredegar Square.
