A pair of ground level spotlights in the rear section of the graveyard - i.e. nearest to the huge Bow roundabout that serves the junction of the A11 and the Blackwell Tunnel Northern Approach Road - indicate how important this church is as a local landmark. The tall property in the distance is part of the Bow Bridge Estate. A distant security fence (left of centre) marks the boundary between the end of the graveyard and a small piece of waste land at this end of the long, slim sliver of land that hosts the church and its graveyard, sandwiched by the A11. These two ecclesiastical properties have been here since 1311.
