There is an outstanding musical and choral tradition in the Parish.
There is an outstanding musical tradition at Chingford. As well as a very popular community choir at the Old Church there are several large Parish Church choirs who maintain a cathedral-style repertoire and regularly tour in the UK and overseas. We are proud to say that our choirs are among the largest and best of any parish in England.
