The Gostling family, owners of part of the former estate of the Duke of Argyll, donated land at the junction of Hounslow and Kneller Roads for the new Church and for an adjoining vicarage, since replaced; the architect was F H Pownall.{{cite book | title=The Buildings of England – London 2: South | publisher=Penguin Books | author=Bridget Cherry and Nikolaus Pevsner | year=1983 | location=London | page=554 | isbn=0-14-0710-47-7}} The stained glass windows on the east side of the church are by Clayton and Bell (1862); the window on the west side is by Charles Eamer Kempe (1892).
