Research has been an essential part of the Society's programme ever since its inauguration, although over the years a comparatively small number of people have been involved. Names such as Arthur Britton, Septimus Barry., Kenneth Neale and John Haywood spring to mind among others. For about the last twenty fiveyears Leonard Davis has taken over the mantle of these worthies and apart from editing the Society's Journal and writing many of our publications, he produces the Chingford Notes Extras listed below. They are a mine of information for all who are interested in the history of the town. Mr Davis has now resigned from his position and we are now asking for volunteers to help us continue this work
Chingford Notes Extras consist of about 10 A4 pages dealing with a particular part of Chingford history. Copyright is vested in the Chingford Historical Society and the papers are written for the benefit of members of the Society who may purchase copies at Society meetings for 40p each. When available they may be purchased by non-members for £1 each including any packing plus appropriate postage. Write to: Mr D young 112 Whitehall Road Chingford, London E4 6DW
