Holy Trinity, Uxbridge Road, Southall

At the east end of the town centre. It is by J. Lee and dates from 1890. Much of it was paid for by William Deloitte of the well known accountancy practice who lived locally at Hill House. The church has been effectively out of use for the last two years but there are now efforts being made to bring the church back into more active use.

St Mary, Church Road, Hanwell

Attractively sited at the entrance to the “Bunny Park”. This is the site of the medieval parish church. However the current building is an early  Scott & Moffatt design of 1841.  A small chancel, reusing the original east window was added in 1897-98 by William Pywell
