St Michael and All Angels, Bishop Ken Road, Harrow Weald
A church of 1958 by T.F. Ford was added to the original church of 1935 that then became a hall. The church has a large mural by Hans Feibusch behind the altar and four smaller ones of the apostles in the spandrels of the nave.
In recent years the further end of the old church has been demolished to give access to a new housing development. The front of the church has gained a glassed narthex and some meeting rooms off to one side.

Two churches at right angles to each other. The older one was built in 1934 as a hall and church and became a hall when the newer one facing the street was built in 1956-57. Both are by T.F. Ford. The current church features murals by Hans Feibusch and glass by John Hayward. The older building is shown at the end of the images. There is a separate Lady Chapel off the lobby linking the hall and church.

The pulpit has been removed, the font resited against a wall, and different seating installed. The paintings on the sanctuary wall and reredos are by Hans Feibusch. This £5.5 million work was designed by Eric Parry Architects.
