The Church of St Edmund, Chingford, is a Grade II listed Church of England parish church at Larkswood Road, Chingford, in Greater London. [1]
St Edmund's Church was originally consecrated in January 1909 by the Bishop of St Albans as a chapel of ease for the parish church of St Peter and St Paul, Chingford, in a building now known as the Ryan Hall in Chingford Mount Road. [2] A church hall was built in 1927. [3]
The present church was built in 1938; the architect was Nugent Cachemaille-Day, [1] who was a leading British exponent of Expressionist architecture. [4] It has a nave of four bays, with two wide aisles, transepts and a short chancel. A low square tower is over the crossing. The style is described as "simplified perpendicular Gothic". [1] The exterior is clad in knapped flint, reflecting the vernacular Essex tradition. [5] A separate ecclesiastical parish was formed for St Edmund's in 1939. [3] It became a Grade II listed building in 1987. [1]
