On 20 July Flavia and Alice Duddridge St Mary’s will be running in the Race for Life, a 5km run in Regent’s Park to raise money for Cancer Research and they will be looking for sponsors.
They each have their own sponsorship forms: please feel free to sponsor either or both of them if you wish.
Many thanks

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.)
