St Margaret's Church, Uxbridge
Uxbridge up until the end of the 18th century was one of the most important market towns of Middlesex, close enough to London to serve the city but too far to be swallowed up by it. It has excellent road connections to London, and after 1770 the Grand Junction Canal as well.

The parish church of St Margaret is wedged into a narrow street near the town centre. It was originally a chapel-of-ease to Hillingdon but grew in importance with the growth of the town. Its architectural interests include a fine hammerbeam roof. The nave and north aisle date from the early 15th century, and the north tower dates from the 14th century. The south aisle is late 15th century and was added by the Guild of St Mary and St Margaret reflecting the increasing prosperity of the town. Pevsner calls it "incongruously large" as it is nearly as high as the tower.
