Christchurch Green Recreation Ground (also known as Spratthall Green)

Introduction

The park surrounds Christ Church Wanstead, a small open parkland containing notable horse chestnuts, oak, ash, sycamore and sweet chestnut that possibly dated from the 17th or 18th century. The park was laid out around 1900, a flat grassed area with a network of diagonal intersecting tarmaced paths, predominantly flanked by horse chestnut, with some planting of evergreens.
