Burial History in Barking and Dagenham
Rippleside Cemetery in Barking, opened in 1895, was established partly to relieve the ancient churchyard of St Margaret's Barking — a church with origins in the 7th century, at which the mariner Captain James Cook married Elizabeth Batts in 1762. Eastbrookend Cemetery in Dagenham served the eastern reaches of the borough, which changed beyond recognition after the 1920s Becontree Estate brought 100,000 residents to what had been largely farmland. The contrast between Barking's medieval parish heritage and Dagenham's planned 20th-century expansion is written clearly into the borough's burial landscape.
