Church of St Peter and St Paul, Grade II* listed church building in Chingford, United Kingdom.
St Peter and St Paul is a protected church building in Chingford featuring Neo-Gothic architecture with pointed arches and decorative stained glass. The structure includes a distinctive tower that dominates the roofline and marks the building's presence in the neighborhood.
The building was designed by architect Lewis Vulliamy in 1844 and later modified by Arthur Blomfield. These changes led to its Grade II* protected status in 1954 due to its architectural significance.
The church functions as a community gathering place with a cafe and gardens where local people meet for more than just worship. Residents use the space for social connection and to participate in neighborhood gardening and educational projects.
The building is located on Woodford New Road and is easily accessible by public transport. It offers rental spaces for events and welcomes visitors interested in its architecture and community programs.
The site borders the church's adjacent graveyard, connecting the building with the natural surroundings of nearby Epping Forest. This location allows visitors to experience the architecture alongside the green spaces that frame it.
