Time to get in the Abbey habit

It's back on the FA trophy trail on Saturday, at a club that we have never played before.

It's the second qualifying round of the Buildbase FA Trophy & we head to Bostik League Division One North side Waltham Abbey, who are currently eleventh in their division.

Particularly galling for your scribe, as it's one of the handful of grounds in the Greater London & surrounding areas that I haven't been to, but I am on holiday at this time of year, so it's Ujpest versus Videoton in the Hungarian first division for me, instead of Capershotts for me!
Like you I'm curious about the name, but even The Abbey Abbott is the story being it, writing:

The origin of the name “Capershotts” is unclear and there are a couple of theories put forward by Waltham Abbey historians. One being that the plot of land when mapped or viewed from the air, was originally in the shape of a ‘Cape’. It is not known if the area was covered with trees at one time, as the more likely explanation of Shotts being such an area would tend to be more appropriate. Stoneyshotts is an area in Waltham Abbey which could probably bear testament to this in times gone by.

The ground is in Sewardstone Road, Waltham Abbey with the usual all-important postcode for the car-driving to put into their SatNavs being EN9 1NX

The nearest station is Waltham Cross, which is a mile and a half away. 'Pink Panther', posting on the independent Urban forum, has saved me doing some research. He shared:

"Definitely doing this one as it's a rare new ground for me following the Hamlet. Trains are half hourly from Liverpool St via Tottenham Hale, or hourly from Stratford (30 minutes past the hour from Platform 11) also connecting with Victoria Line at Tottenham Hale. "

Another contributor, 'Darryl' offered this travel advice:

"Bit of a mission, this, even though it's only just beyond the M25. An Oyster day out for the trains but it’s too far out of town for the buses to accept them.
- Train to Waltham Cross (zone 7) from Liverpool Street, Stratford or Tottenham Hale then 40 minutes’ walk, or local bus to Waltham Abbey (like the 66 but there are others EOS London | Timetables & Maps | Service 66 Saturday Timetable ). If you're coming via central London, Tottenham Hale is the best place to change from tube to rail.
- Central Line to Loughton (zone 6) then half-hourly local bus 66 to Waltham Abbey (EOS London | Timetables & Maps | Service 66 Saturday Timetable) - bus is a fiver return so a cab may work out cheaper if there’s a group
- This takes you closest to the ground but is laughably infrequent: Train to Chingford (zone 5) from Liverpool Street, Hackney Downs and Walthamstow Central then local bus 505 (http://www.trustybus.co.uk/files/505.pdf) at 1405 (so you’ll need to leave Liverpool Street on the 1333 at the latest). Bus returns from Sewardstone Road at 1822."

Regarding the town itself, unsurprisingly, the most famous thing to see is the Abbey, or to be more correct, the Waltham Abbey Church. There is a lot of history about the place.
The local museum is the Museums - Epping Forest District Council, which is free to visit, and open from ten til five.

If you’ve got a few spare shekels in your pocket and want somewhere different then there’s the Royal Gunpowder Mills, which charges £10.50 for adults.

If you just like a stroll around, and if you’re a lover of water, then the town is on the banks of the River Lea & is the River Lee Country Parkstarts there.

Drink wise, there is a Wetherspoons in Waltham Cross, called 'The Moon and Cross'. Or, before you travel from Liverpool Street, the old favourite of both football fans and tight-fisted City Gents, the 'Hamilton Hall'.

There are also a number of pubs in Waltham Abbey listed on the CAMRA website.
