St Laurence, Whitchurch Lane, Little Stanmore
The body of the church was built in 1715 by John James to effectively act as a private chapel for nearby Cannons owned by the Earl of Chandos. The 15th century tower was retained from the old parish church. The ceiling was painted by Laguerre and the walls by Sleter. The east and west end ceilings are by Bellucci. On the north side is the anteroom and main Chandos Mausoleum built 1735-36 by James Gibbs and housing the huge Grinling Gibbons monument to the Duke of Chandos and his wives.The walls and ceiling are decorated by Sleter and G. Brunetti. The whole building is an overwhelming baroque experience.

All Saints, Uxbridge Road, Harrow Weald
Set well back from the road between Stanmore and Harrow Weald. This church started as a chancel of 1842 designed by J.T. Harrison. Nave and aisles were added by William Butterfield in 1845. In 1889-92 he took down the north aisle and added a new gabled aisle and tower. A west gallery was added in the late fifties and the west window blocked. Removal of paint in 2013 uncovered a painted and tiled decorative scheme by Butterfield in the chancel.

All Saints, Talbot Road, Notting Hill
Built 1852-61 and designed by William White. The tall tower was planned to be surmounted by a spire but this was found to be impossible due to ground conditions. War time damage was repaired by Milner & Craze in 1951. Currently (Dec 2025) the Lady Chapel cannot be used due to unsafe masonry. There is work by Martin Travers and Ninian Comper, some from St Columb which is now a Serbian Orthodox church.
