North of the current town centre down a suburban street. The original church, now the hall, was by Martin Travers and built in 1934. The current church of 1954 was designed by C.W. Fowler. There is a first floor lady chapel in the transept like structure between the two. The fish is a fossil in the altar step.

Holy Redeemer, Churchmore Road/Streatham Vale, Streatham
A church of 1931-32 by Martin Travers and T.F.W. Grant. The church was taken out of use in 2007 and worship transferred to the nearby church hall. In recent years there has been some work done on the church and it is now used again from April to October. The hall behind dates from 1928 and is by Sir Charles Nicholson and is used in the colder months. A contemporary vicarage stands between the hall and church. Currently the chancel is screened off and used for storage, it contains the original choir stalls and communion table. The foundation stone has been graffitied so I include a clean shot from 2015.
St Dunstan, Cranford
Inside Cranford Park and just in Hillingdon Borough (other Cranford churches are in Hounslow Borough).The tower is 15th century, the nave of 1710. There have been restorations by J.L. Pearson and Martin Travers and one just completed in March 2013, the church is open most Saturdays. It was once next to the a great house but all that now remains are the stables. The rural charm is spoilt by the M4 thundering past a few yards away.
