Excerpt from Leytonstone and Its History: With Especial Reference to the Establishment and Development of Church Services Therein, and a Short Account of Former Residents and Residences, Etc AN old box in the Vestry of St. John Baptist, Leytonstone, sup posed to contain nothing but a large quantity of practically obsolete papers, often caused me, before and during my seven years of oflice as Churchwarden, to wonder whether anything of interest could be found among its contents. I at last got it opened, and a mass of old letters and documents therein, disclosed in great detail the early efforts made to establish Church of England services in the district, and the progress of the undertaking from its beginning (nearly 160 years ago) to the time of building the present Church of St. John's. There were also two books of quaint and interesting extracts from Parish Registers, dating back as far as r 584.
