Botwell Misson Hall, Golden Crescent, Hayes (Former) now housing

This was a small mission church in the Botwell area of Hayes, which was some way from the medieval parish church. The rapid growth of Botwell rendered it too small and it was replaced by a tin tabernacle in 1913 in Hayes town centre. The current church of St Anselm which opened in 1929, then replaced that building. In 1932 Middlesex County Council adapted and extended the building as Hayes Library which closed in 2010 being replaced by a new library. The gothic windows were replaced, the bellcote removed and three bays and a new porch added at the west end.

Our Lady of the Rosary, West Common Road, Hayes (Roman Catholic)

South of the village centre. It was built as Rosary Hall in 1954 and upgraded to a church in 1956, the architect is unknown. The coloured glass and porch in the main front have since been added.

      
   
   
 

St Mary the Virgin, Hayes Street, Hayes

In the old village rather than near the station. This is a medieval church to which Gilbert Scott added a north aisle and restoration in 1856-62 and John Oldrid Scott added a south aisle in 1878. Thus only the tower, west wall and part of the chancel remain from the old church. There is a huge memorial to the Hambro banking family in the big churchyard.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, Botwell Lane, Hayes (Roman Catholic)

Not far south of the Uxbridge Road and well over a mile north of the modern Hayes town centre. The chancel is 13th century, the tower and north aisle are 15th century, the porch and south aisle of the 16th century. Inside is a large 16th century St Christopher wall painting and the earliest brass in Middlesex. Restoration by George Gilbert Scott was in 1873.
