Chingford Mount Cemetery
Chingford Mount Cemetery

Chingford Mount Cemetery is a cemetery in Chingford Mount, in the London Borough of Waltham Forest. The main entrance is opposite Chingford Old Church. Opened in May 1884, 41½ acres in size, it was laid out on the site of the house and grounds of Caroline Mount. Chingford Mount Cemetery was opened as a sister-site to the already established Abney Park Cemetery, which had opened in 1840 as part of the Magnificent Seven Cemeteries which circled London. Abney Park opened in response to the burial conditions of cemeteries in the inner city. Originally a joint-stock company and inheriting the mantle of Bunhill Fields, the company was made over in 1884 and run as a commercial venture. Chingford Mount was the first new site to open under this regime, followed by Hendon Park and Greenford. Following the collapse of the managing company in the 1970s, plans were submitted to turn over unused parts of the burial ground for redevelopment as housing. Objections from local residents halted this plan and the cemetery is now under the care of the London Borough of Waltham Forest. Among those buried in the cemetery are sculptor John Bacon, the Kray twins and other members of their crime family, the meteorologist John William Tripe, and Benjamin Pollock, founder of Pollock's Toy Museum and Benjamin Pollock's Toy Shop. The cemetery contains the war graves of 139 Commonwealth service personnel of World War I and 182 of World War II, with the names of those whose graves have no headstones being listed on a low screen wall surrounding the War Graves Plot in Section F13.

Waltham Forest Festival of Theatre

Waltham Forest Festival of Theatre is an amateur drama festival of one act plays that takes place each year in the London Borough of Waltham Forest. It is the only amateur theatre festival in East London. The patron of the festival is actor Derek Jacobi. Waltham Forest Festival of Theatre serves as a first round festival in the Eastern District of the All England Theatre Festival (the AETF), and is affiliated to the National Drama Festivals Association (NDFA). The winners of the Waltham Forest Festival of Theatre may be invited to perform at the NDFA British All Winners Festival that takes place each year in July. Each year the Waltham Forest Festival of Theatre has entries from adult amateur drama groups, amateur theatre companies, youth theatre clubs and school and college drama clubs and classes. The Festival is organised into both adult and youth sections and each competing team presents a one-act play. Two or three one-act plays are performed at each evening or matinee session of the Festival. The Festival takes place across a week, so often there are between 15 and 18 different theatre companies performing a play on stage during the week of the Festival. Festival rules state that plays must be more than 20 minutes and no more than 55 minutes long to be performed at the Festival and there must be more than one speaking part in any play. A professional adjudicator from the Guild of Drama Adjudicators sits in the audience and judges each play on its merits. The Adjudicator takes to the stage at the end of the session and comments on each play, the acting, its staging, costumes, lighting and set. The Adjudicator's marks are added up on the final night to decide who has won the Festival. The winning team is then eligible to enter succeeding rounds of the knockout competition, which culminates in the All-England Final in June and the British Final in July. There are also awards for best actor, best actress, best performer under 18 years of age, best new writing, best comedy.
