Romford - St. Edwards Church, circa 1905: A Historical Snapshot of Romford Parish Church in London This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty and grandeur of St. Edwards Church in Romford, London, as it stood around the turn of the 20th century. The image, taken circa 1905, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when horse-drawn carriages were a common sight on the streets, and the church steeple and spire dominated the town's skyline. The church, dedicated to St. Edward the Confessor, is a significant historical landmark in Romford, a town located in the London Borough of Havering. The current building dates back to the late 14th century, with later additions and restorations in the 15th, 16th, and 19th centuries. The church's rich history is reflected in its intricate architecture, with its Gothic Revival style and stunning stained glass windows. The photograph also reveals the close proximity of the church to the Cock Inn Public House, which can be seen in the foreground. The pub, which dates back to the 16th century, has long been a popular watering hole for locals and visitors alike. The relationship between the church and the pub is a testament to the close-knit community that has thrived in Romford for centuries. The church's bell, which can be seen in the photograph, has played an essential role in the town's history. It has been used to call the faithful to prayer and to mark significant events, such as weddings, funerals, and the ringing of the Angelus. The bell's melodic chimes have echoed through the streets of Romford for generations, serving as a reminder of the town's rich heritage and enduring spirit.
