Wangye House was situated in Chadwell Heath, on the borders of Dagenham and Ilford, at the site of Chadwell Heath Station. Its origins are obscure but thought to date from the 1300s when it was referred to as Wanghou. It appears to have been conveyed to Barking Abbey in 1366, becoming part of the Abbey’s demesne and subject to the Manor of Barking. The rent from Wangye formed part of the income of the Cellaress of Barking Abbey. Wangeyhall Farm existed in Chitty’s Lane (now Station Road) in 1777. Chadwell Heath Cricket Club was founded in 1903 and originally played matches here. The farm was occupied in the early twentieth century by the family of John William Sayer. It was demolished c.1936–1938 to make way for Hemmings Bakery. The Tudor manor house was originally thatched and moated, with a two-storey rectangular brick extension added in the eighteenth century.
