Brief description

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Andrew%27s_Church,_Leytonstone

2026: "The Church of St Andrew, Leytonstone, is a Victorian era Church of England parish church in Leytonstone, East London, adjacent to Epping Forest. It is a Grade II listed building.

The church is built on land which was part of the Wallwood Estate, which had been purchased in 1817 by William Cotton,[1] a wealthy banker who would become the Governor of the Bank of England in 1843. He was also a leading philanthropist; besides supporting educational charities, he founded three new churches in the East End of London and made donations towards more than seventy others.[2] William Cotton died in 1866; his son Sir Henry Cotton sold the estate for housing development in 1874,[1] but one plot of land adjoining Forest Glade, part of Epping Forest, was reserved for the building of a new church as a memorial to his father.[3]

The church is a large building in the Early English Gothic style, using Kentish ragstone with freestone dressings and a knapped flint. There is a slender flèche over the crossing. There are porches on the west and north sides and a large chancel to the east. The later vestry on the north east of the building is in a similar style. The west front has a tall central window featuring a pair of lancets and roundel, and a single lancet to each side, with pinnacles at the corners. There are low aisles on either side of a long nave of five bays. At the east end are three lancets and two roundels, also with pinnacles. Inside, the walls are lined by red brick with stone dressings to the arcade with moulded arches and circular columns. The chancel is ashlar-faced and features carving to the chancel arch corbels. The stained glass of the east windows is dated 1892. A wooden altar front has a painted lamb and angels. The chancel roof is a wooden barrel vault and the nave has an arched cruck roof with pierced timbers. The original pews in the nave and the choir stalls are of polished oak.[3]

Many of the stained glass windows in the nave are the work of Margaret Chilton (1875–1963), a student of Christopher Whall, and date between 1919 and 1957. The earlier windows, some of which are war memorials, are in the Arts and Crafts tradition, but her later work shows some expressionist influences. Together, they form the most important collection of her work in England.[9]

The parish of St Andrew Leytonstone is in the Archdeaconry of West Ham and the Barking Episcopal Area of the Diocese of Chelmsford; it is the smallest parish by area in the Deanery of Waltham Forest. Worship is in the liberal Anglo-Catholic tradition, centred on the Sunday morning Eucharist.[18] The church centre is used by a wide variety of community organisations including a preschool, a senior citizens’ group, art classes, a Scout Group and surgeries with local councillors, as well as providing a study space for teenagers to do homework.[14]"
