The Watch House, St Matthews
The Watch House is the building on the right. "Built in 1754 and, with the growing trade in human corpses for dissection, in 1792 it was necessary to appoint a watchman who was paid ten shillings and sixpence a week to be on permanent guard against resurrectionists. A reward of two guineas was granted for the apprehension of any body-snatchers and the watchman was provided with a blunderbuss and permission to fire from an upper window, once a rattle had been sounded three times. The churchwardens still hold this right The small structure at the rear originally housed the parish fire engine, in the days when it was just a narrow cart. In 1965, the Watchhouse gained notoriety of another kind when fascist leader Oswald Mosley stood upon the step to give his last open air public speech in England." thanks to https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/5939

The Watch House seen across Wood Close
As The Watch House is situated in the corner of St Matthew's Churchyard and dates from 1828, I assume it was built here to deter grave robbers. The church has a later criminal connection in the fact that the funeral services of all three Kray brothers took place in St Matthew's Church.

Parish watch house, Bethnal Green
Grade II listed building, described at this http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1242298. "On the corner of St Matthews Row and Wood Close and named on the front door as "The Watch House". This building began as a watchman's house in 1754. The watchman was to guard against "the resurrection men" or body-snatchers who provided corpses for dissection to the local hospitals. In 1826 the building was enlarged so that the fire engine could be housed here. In recent years it has been used by the church for many other functions." - http://exploringeastlondon.co.uk/eel/Shoreditch/Shoreditch.htm
