Old Church Road, Chingford, London

Uncategorized 1 Minute
In 1905, this was the view of Old Church Road in Chingford. The ‘Old Church’ (All Saints) can be seen in the centre-left of the photograph. The building originated in the 13th century, although evidence of its Norman (12th century) are present. In the 14th century a tower was added and, in the 16th century, a porch. All Saints was Chingford’s parish church until 1844. It then fell into disuse. The church’s roof collapsed and was not replaced till the 1930s.

March 2017, and All Saints remains at the top of the hill. It is still an active Church despite the huge changes to what surrounds it.
