Monday Mums - coffee, cake, chat, bible study & prayer each Monday morning during school term time. First week in each month Monday Mums meet on Fridays rather than Mondays - if in doubt or if you want to know more then check with Rachel.
Come along if you feel close to God, far away from Him or even if you’re not sure about Him at all!

900 years is a long time
by anyone’s reckoning! The actual date of founding of St Mary’s Church is lost in time. The list of former vicars of St Mary's displayed in the church commences with Orderic in 1108, therefore we have chosen September 2008 to celebrate this significant anniversary.

View of the Parish Church of
St Mary, Walthamstow from the north-west, dated 1783. The Monoux chantry chapel, demolished in the 19th Century, can be seen on the left. The low aisles of the main church were later raised to allow for the installation of the first galleries. The Monoux almshouses, which still stand, can be seen on the extreme left hand side of the picture. Sir George Monoux, former Lord Mayor of London, founded the school that bears his name in these buildings in 1527. (The school has an unbroken history and its successor is The Sir George Monoux Sixth Form College, Chingford Rd, E17.)
