Heritage England's at-risk register tracks historic buildings which face decay and neglect.
An historic east London church is among 10 sites across the city to be added to Heritage England's at-risk register.
In total, there are 599 sites across London on the register which identifies sites that are most at risk of being lost as a result of "neglect, decay or inappropriate development". The church is seeking funding for a full repair and development project, which will improve access and provide facilities for the local community, a Heritage England spokesperson said.The Upminster Tithe Barn, which is also on the register, was built in the mid-15th century for Waltham Abbey, at a time when Upminster was open countryside.
The Friends of Upminster Windmill, in conjunction with the local authority, were awarded a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to fully restore the mill and add a workshop and visitors' centre on the site.The 18th-century hospital building had fallen into disrepair and was closed in 2014 after being added to the register two years previously.Following a £125 million transformation, the building has reopened as Tower Hamlets Town Hall.
