The church of The Ascension, Collier Row, Collier Row Road, originated in 1880 as a mission of Romford. Services were held first in the Hainault Forest school, Collier Row Road, and later in a mission hall. The present church was built in 1886. The Crown subscribed £140 towards its erection, no doubt because there were extensive Crown estates in the district. The Revd. J. H. Pemberton (d. 1926) of the Round House, Havering, a noted rose-grower, was curate in charge from 1880 to 1923. He left funds to endow the benefice, and further contributions were made by his sister, Amelia Pemberton. A new parish, taken out of Romford and St. Chad, Chadwell Heath, was formed in 1927, the advowson being vested in Miss Pemberton for life, and then in trustees, including the vicar of Romford; the church was consecrated in 1928. Parking is available nearby for 20p an hour, or some side roads for free. Buses 252 stops outside at Z1 (Melville rd) stop or 294,247 at stop WF (Collier/Clockhouse Lane) further up the road.
