Welcome to the Chingford Historical Society
The Chingford Historical Society has been established over 85 years. It is a registered charity (No 281623) and is governed by a committee elected by its members at Annual General Meetings. We organise monthly meetings and occasional local walks and visits to places of historical interest. We publish a newsletter. We encourage research, writing and video making about the history of our area. We welcome visitors and researchers to our document and digital archives - contact us.
Our meetings are held at the Chingford C of E Primary School, Cambridge Road, Chingford, E4 7BP at 7.30.p.m. usually on the third Thursday of each month from September until July. Talks on local and general history are illustrated and there is an interval when refreshments can be bought. Non-members are welcome to attend for a fee of £3 payable at the door or to register for live online transmission.
The map shows you the location of our venue at the end of Shaftesbury Road off Richmond Road off Station Road. There is free parking in the school from 7pm - 7.30 pm but if you arrive after 7.30pm expect delays getting in. There is free evening parking at the Richmond Road car park about 4-5 minutes walk away. A footpath opposite the Infants School on Kings Road runs to the gates of the Junior School which is our venue.
