Context
Administrative/Biographical history:
Norwood was part of the parish of Hayes, and its chapel was considered a chapel of ease to the Hayes parish church. The advowson of the Norwood church was therefore the same as that of Hayes church, and was vested in the Archbishop of Canterbury. As early as 1656 there was a petition for Norwood to be made a parish in its own right. In 1770 the advowson of Hayes and Norwood was annexed to the lordship of Hayes. It was not until 1859 that Hayes became a separate parish. The church of Saint Mary the Virgin is situated in Tentelow Lane. The earliest parts of the building date to the 12th century. The church was restored in 1864 and again in 1950. The churchyard was closed for burials in 1883.
Biscoe's Endowed School, Tentelow Lane, was the earliest school to be established in Norwood. It was built by Elisha Biscoe in 1767. Biscoe bequeathed £3,500 to pay for staff to educate children from Heston, Hayes and Norwood. The school was closed in 1950 and the building sold as a private residence.
