Churchill speech among stories for St Gabriel’s local history night

WVD-APR-2026v2-wc

St Gabriel’s Church in Aldersbrook will host a local history night on 7 May.

“Did you know Winston Churchill gave a rousing speech to an overflowing St Gabriel’s Hall in 1927? Or that St Gabriel’s controversial vicar was a regular in the Daily Mirror in the 1930s? Or that unemployed men helped landscape Wanstead Flats 100 years ago?” said Georgina Brewis.

The event – in aid of the church hall refurbishment fund – will feature a range of stalls and talks, with historians on hand to answer questions (from 6.30pm; tickets: £7). Visit wnstd.com/7m
