St Mary, Church Lane, Walthamstow
The parish church is in the heart of the Walthamstow conservation area. It is a medieval church refaced in 1817-18 by Charles Bacon. The church was re-ordered and a new extension was built reopening in 2023. The church has a huge collection of memorials, the largest of which are no longer enclosed in railings. A few images of the church prior to these changes are at the end of this entry.

St Mary, High Road, South Woodford
From the street, one sees the east end of a church which was added in 1888-89 by W.O. Milne to a church by Charles Bacon from 1817. However, a fire in 1969 reduced the church to the tower and a shell. It was rebuilt in 1971-72 to designs by John Phillips to produce a wide, open space with a side chapel next to the former east end. Many monuments from the previous church (and its predecessor) survived the fire and are mounted around the walls.
