Safeguarding St Edmund's Church Chingford for the Future: building, people and place.

St Edmund’s is a place and people of significance to South Chingford. Our church and community hold stories of the development of South Chingford from its emergence as a place in the late 19th Century to the present day. We want to ensure that the church building continues to be in good repair, open to all. We want to better understand and celebrate the stories of South Chingford, so that with others we can meet the needs of our community. We want to be sustainable, using our resources efficiently and creating resilience. This project will safeguard St Edmund’s to these ends. Through substantial building work and community engagement we want to continue to tell the story of our parish as it has evolved and is evolving. We want to be part of valuing the past and passing on the heritage of South Chingford to future generations.
