Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

Saint Paul's Church was originally constructed as an iron church provided by the Ealing Ruri-decanal Association to serve the western part of Old Brentford. It was built on the site acquired for the projected new Saint George's Church, and was assigned a district in 1864. The patronage was divided between the Crown and the Bishop of London alternately, but by 1915 it was solely in the gift of the Bishop. The foundation stone for the new ragstone building was laid in December 1867 on a new site, and the church was consecrated in 1868. It was damaged by bombing the the 2nd World War and restored by M. Farey, 1953. Saint Paul's became a Chapel of Ease to Saint Lawrence, New Brentford, 1952 and principal church of the united parish of Brentford from 1961.
