St Andrew, Chingford Lane, Woodford Green

A small chapel, the architect seems unrecorded but the church dates from the late 19th century with later additions. The worship area is in the wing topped with a cross and the hall is at right angles to it, linked by the newer entrance area.

St Thomas of Canterbury, Woodford Wells (Roman Catholic)

Very near All Saints anglican church, it dates from 1895-96 and was designed by A.J.C. Scoles

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.
