St Margaret

The NW tower was added in the late C14

The nave arcades, W end of the nave and N aisle were rebuilt in the early C15

The S aisle was widened and the S chapel added in the late C15

The N chapel was added or rebuilt in the early C16

C14 W tower porch, of three stages with an embattled parapet and a plain, square cupola of 1820, restored in 1988

The inner doorway is also C14 and has headstops

Those in the S aisle, which have depressed heads, are early C16

the N chapel windows are also early C16

Early C16 S door with a depressed head and square frame in a shallow projection between the buttresses, and C15 W door

INTERIOR: The interior is plastered and painted, with a fine mid C15 hammerbeam roof in the S aisle and S chapel

PRINCIPAL FIXTURES: The church was largely refurnished in the C19, and most of these furnishings, including pews, screens and pulpit, were subsequently removed in the late C20 reordering

Late C15 font, polygonal with enriched quatrefoils on the bowl

The base, with black marble inserts, black marble slab across the top, and the metal cover, are 1985-8. The metal altar rails and paschal candlestick match the font cover

Some C19 and C20 glass

In the S aisle and chapel, a mid C15 hammerbeam roof, an unusual type for Middlesex

Late C15 chancel roof with moulded tie beams and short king posts, with C18 boarding and coving

In the former chancel, two brass chandeliers dated 1695 and 1735

A few wall tablets and a very fine, large marble and alabaster monument to Leonora Bennett, d.1638

A reclining figure below a Doric entablature with a broken pediment

A chapel is first recorded there in the mid C13, but it is likely that it was already there in the late C12 or early C13

The earliest surviving fabric is the C14 tower, but irregularities in the plan suggest that the church was rebuilt around an existing structure in the C15 and early C16

By the early C15, it comprised at least a nave, chancel, N aisle and the NW tower, although it may also have had a S aisle

There was further work in the early C16 when the N chapel was added or rebuilt and the S aisle partly refenestrated
