Heathcote was rector of All Saints, Chingford, and was concerned about the poor condition of the church. From 1840 to 1844, he had a new church built, St Peter and St Paul, Chingford, on Chingford Green, built for £5,000 of his own money, and designed by Lewis Vulliamy.[5]

  • Katherine Sophia Boothby Heathcote (d. 13 December 1913)
