During the early 1980s, The East of London Family History Society completed a survey of the graveyard and recorded all of the details that were visible on the gravestones at that time. This list was then painstakingly transcribed by Kathleen Partington of Leyton and Leytonstone Historical Society. A copy of the spreadsheet compiled is available here.

Thanks to Kathleen for all the hard work put into compiling this spreadsheet.

Lent 2025

Lent begins on Wednesday 5th March 2025 with special Ash Wednesday services in our churches to which you are most welcome. If you are new to faith you might be interested in our Adult Confirmation and Baptism course starting this Lent. If you are going a bit deeper and ready for some Bible study and reflection on Mission, join our Heart for Mission course in person or online, in co-operation with neighbouring churches in our local Ministry and Mission Partnership.

Mothering Sunday is on 30 March - all are invited to St Mary Magdalane for this important family occasion. Then Palm Sunday on 13 April starts the great annual celebration of Holy Week and Easter.
