St Lawrence's Church closed in 1961 following nearly 800 years use, initially as a chapel (New Brentford lay within Hanwell parish), then as a parish church for New Brentford. The tower, just visible to the right, dates from around 1480 and is the oldest structure in Brentford. The church walls date from a rebuild in 1764. (Q49)

In the churchyard the WW1 War Memorial is visible to the right. The prominent stone with a cross on top was erected in 1862 by the Grand Junction Water Company, who supplied 'pure filtered water'(Q50).
