Upton House, West Ham; birthplace of Joseph Lister. Watercolour partly after a photograph, partly after a sketch by Mary Lister, 1920/1940

Upton House was a building in West Ham, Essex (now the London Borough of Newham) on what is now the corner of Lancaster Road and Upton Lane[1] It was rebuilt in 1731.[2] In 1827, it was the birthplace of the surgeon Joseph Lister. In 1893 a temporary church for St Peter's Church, Upton Cross was set up in its gardens, with the house forming the vicarage[2] - the permanent church was later built in the gardens. The vicarage was demolished in 1967-1968[2] and its site is now occupied by Joseph Lister Court.
