The president of the Woodford Historical Society will be celebrating local history on 13 March with a presentation of images from his archives.

“I will be delving into my archives, bringing alive some of the influential families who lived in and around Woodford in the 19th and 20th centuries, such as Henry Ford Barclay, who owned the Monkhams estate from 1864 to 1891,” said Peter Lawrence.

The event will take place from 2.30pm at All Saints’ church hall in Woodford Green (tickets: £5; visitors welcome).
