Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

The Church of Saint Matthew, Ponders End was built in 1877-78 as a chapel of ease to Saint James, Enfield Highway, because Saint James' Church was unable to serve the needs of the expanding population of eastern Enfield. In 1899 Saint Matthew's became a parish church in its own right. Plans for enlarging the church were drawn up, but in the event only the chancel was built.
