Church Of St Edmund

The Church of St Edmund, located on Larkswood Road in Chingford, was built in 1938 by architect N Cachemaille-Day. It features a grey brick and knapped flint facade with a pitched tiled roof that has a parapet. The church has a nave with four bays and wide aisles, but no clerestory. It includes short transepts, a low square crossing tower, and a north porch. The design is in a simplified Perpendicular Gothic style, characterized by square-headed aisle windows with brick tracery and a Tudor arched five-light west window. The tower has corner buttresses that curve to merge with the main wall planes and a round stair tower at the southeast corner, which is louvred at the top.

Inside, the church is rendered, featuring pointed arcade arches without capitals, with hollow chamfer mouldings that rise through the piers to the apex. The piers support encased roof trusses, and there is a pitched encased ceiling. A gallery is present in the crossing tower. The pulpit, font, font cover, reredos, altar rails, and light fittings are also notable features of the interior.
