St Peter and St Paul is a Church of England parish church in Chingford, London. The church is a Grade II* listed building.
It was built in 1844 by the architect Lewis Vulliamy, and the eastern parts were added in 1903 by Sir Arthur Blomfield. It was paid for with £5,000 of his own money by Robert Boothby Heathcote, the then rector of All Saints, Chingford, who was concerned about the poor condition of that church.[1]
On 28 June 1954, the church was designated a Grade II* listed building.
The parish of Chingford is in the Archdeaconry of West Ham of the Diocese of Chelmsford.[2] The parish worships in the Anglo-Catholic tradition of the Church of England.
