St Mary's Church, Chigwell
St Mary's Church is a Grade II* listed Church of England church in Chigwell, Essex, England.[1][2] Its parish was later united with that of All Saints Chigwell Row and then in 1994 with St Winifred's, which had been built in 1935 as a chapel of ease to St Mary's.[3][2]
Samuel Harsnett, future Archbishop of York, was Vicar of Chigwell from 1597 to 1605, founded two schools there in 1619 and was buried in St Mary's in 1631.[2] The church also contains a wall monument to the Tudor politician Thomas Colshill,[2] whilst its churchyard contains the remains of Thomas Edwards, recipient of the Victoria Cross for actions at the Battle of Tamai in 1884.[4]
