St. Mary's Church, Walthamstow, is a Church of England parish church in Walthamstow Village, a conservation area in Walthamstow, east London. It was founded in the 12th century and is still a working church with a cafe, Play Area and Exhibition Space open during the week.[1] St Mary's also hires rooms and spaces in both the church and nearby St Mary's Welcome Centre[2] to outside groups.[3] It retains over one hundred and fifty brasses and monuments, the oldest dating from 1436, though all that now remains of the original Norman church is some pillar bases and the chisel marks on them. In 2021-2022, the church was extensively renovated with support from the National Lottery and now includes a modern extension which contains the Parish Office and an Exhibition Space.[4]
