According to Kelly's Directories of Essex , 1878-1926, the Becontree Petty Sessional Division comprised the following parishes:

 

Barking, Chigwell (part), Dagenham, East Ham,West Ham, Great Ilford, Lt. Ilford, Leyton, Walthamstow, Wanstead and Woodford. The short-lived civil parish of Cann Hall was also part of this division. East and West Ham ceased to be part of the Becontree Division when separate commissions of the peace were granted respectively in 1906 (East Ham) and 1887 (West Ham).

 

On 1 April 1965 a separate commission of the peace for N.E. London was created under the Administration of Justice Act 1964 and comprised the London Boroughs of Barking, Havering, Newham, Redbridge and Waltham Forest. Under this jurisdiction the Becontree Division continued to include those London boroughs which it had covered before i.e. Barking, Redbridge and Waltham Forest.

 

On 4 October 1977 Becontree Division was replaced by separate divisions for each of the London Boroughs of Barking and Dagenham, Redbridge (see P/Re) and Waltham Forest.
