The Brentford & Chiswick Local History Journal 2 (1981) states that ‘the body of the Church, or nave, dates from 1764 and was designed in London stock brick by Thomas Hardwick (1725-98). The extraordinary wooden columns inside date from 1889. These tall, slim features, modelled on the Corinthian columns of the great Roman temples, are unique in the country.’
Works undertaken include the removal of a 20th Century vestry building and the opening up of windows to the north elevation. Through reference to historic drawings and paintings we, working alongside a heritage consultant, were able to make the case for a return to the original elevational configuration.
The opening up of the windows to the northern elevation has allowed daylight to flood the interior, transforming the space. Sensitive removal of non-original fabric has unveiled parts of the interior untouched for decades which include the wooden columns noted by the Local History Journal
Works are currently progressing to provide facilities to support possible future uses which might include a music venue, garden nursery or gymnasium.
