Marks Manor House from Lysons (1792)[1]: 180 

Marks (or Mark's Hall) was a manor house located near Marks Gate at the northern tip of the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham in London, England, the house standing on what is now Warren Hall Farm, about two miles west of Romford.[2] The name Marks (historically Markes) is believed to have been derived from the de Merk family who built the original manor in the 14th century.[3] The manor house was demolished in 1808.[4]
