VIRTUAL WALK: From Fields and Forest to Royals and the Railways

Chingford Hunting Lodge.jpg

Find out why Chingford on the edge of Epping Forest in north-east London has a history that is very different to its more urban neighbour Walthamstow. Meet the diverse range of characters who have made their mark on Chingford including T E Lawrence, Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Victoria and the creator of the FA Cup. This is a live virtual walk hosted via Zoom video conferencing where your guide will give an illustrated presentation of the walk route with an accompanying talk. There will be opportunities for questions and interaction. Led by qualified guide and long-time local resident Joanna Moncrieff, you will follow old maps showing fields whose names reflect the area’s history and footpaths which still exist today. You will also hear about a family whose actions dramatically improved the lives of Chingford residents
