 EoLFHS Parishes: Wanstead
Wanstead, Essex, lies on the right of the Chigwell road, between it and the river Roding, about 3 miles beyond Stratford, and 6 miles from Whitechapel church by road; ½ mile southeast of the Snaresbrook Station of the Great Eastern Railway (Ongar line).
Within the park stands Wanstead Church (of the Virgin Mary), built 1787-90, at the cost of Sir James Tylney-Long in place of the old parish church, which was small, inconvenient, and dilapidated.
On the west of Wanstead Park, divided from it by the road to Snaresbrook, remains what looks like a wild bit of the Forest, but having avenues across it, the chief nearly a mile long -no doubt relies of the old avenues of Sir Josiah Child's planting.

 The Royal Wanstead Foundation
The Royal Wanstead Foundation (RWF) is a registered charity and the modern successor of an institution founded in 1827 as the Infant Orphan Asylum by the Victorian philanthropist Dr Andrew Reed.
Following the closure of the Royal Wanstead School at Snaresbrook in 1971 (and the closure of the girls’ school at Sawbridgeworth two years earlier), the Foundation continues the work begun by Andrew Reed 144 years ago, by supporting children at a wide range of appropriate boarding schools up and down the UK.
The RWF seeks to maintain reserves sufficient to sustain the Foundation’s charitable work indefinitely, recognising: that school fees have tended to increase faster than inflation; that Stock Market investments are cyclical; and that medium-term continuity in grant-making is necessary in order to avoid disturbing the security of the children whose education the Foundation supports.
