St. John the Baptist. Built in 1889 on the site of a chapel of ease to All Saints at Epping Upland. It began in the 14th as a chapel belonging to Waltham Abbey and after the dissolution a vicar was appointed under the Bishop of London. This was confirmed by the crown but it was given to John Cocks of Broxbourne but retaining the rights of people from Epping for use for divine services. It was later sold on, including a house called Chapel Hall, but the same provision applied to the chapel. It was later regarded as a chapel-of-ease to All Saints, and served by their vicar until 1764 and then trustees employed a chaplain with the vicar as a trustee. In 1824 it received grants from Queen Anne's Bounty, and in it became the parish church in 1888. The chapel had been enlarged in 1622, and further work done in successive years and then various rebuilding schemes considered. It was rebuilt in in 1832 the chapel was rebuilt to the designs of S.
