More Tea Vicar!
22 May 2026
We had a wonderful few hours in the vicarage garden sipping tea, eating cake, and enjoying good company together.
The real highlight was having 28 people gathered from across our Wednesday and Friday congregations, as well as our Sunday 8am and 10am services. It was so lovely to see the wider St Edward’s family come together in one place.
A simple morning, but a really special reminder that church is about friendship and community as well as worship. 🍰🌿
PLEASE HELP!
22 January 2026
We are the focal point of Romford Market, and are proud to be so, but we need your help!
You may have seen some scaffolding up at the church, as we have a leaky roof and windows, that have seen better days. To stay where we are, we need funds! If you can spare any money for a small donation we would be really grateful - every little helps us repair our 175 year old church.

Thank you!
