About Barking - show infohide info
Barking is the main town in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, but is also considered a traditional town of Essex. It is a suburban development with a large retail and commercial centre situated near to Charing Cross. It most historical exhibit is Barking Abbey, which was originally founded by Erkenwald, Bishop of London, in AD 666, for his sister Ethelburga. Previous excavation attempts in 1912 failed to unearth Saxon remains however. Yet recent digs just outside the medieval abbey precincts discovered the workshops of the Saxon Abbey. Artefacts including jewellery, pottery, carved bone, gold thread and glassmaking tools now show how Barking Abbey has become one of the most important religious archaeological sites in Europe today. Famous residents in Barking Abbey include William the Conqueror, who lived in the Abbey until the completion of his castle in the Tower of London. With the 1536 Dissolution of the Monasteries, Barking Abbey was demolished. St Margaret's Church and Curfew Tower still stand upon the site where some walls and foundations may still be seen. It was at St Margaret's Church that Here Captain James Cook married Elizabeth Batt of Shadwell in 1762.
