St Mary's Church, Ealing, St. Mary's Road, Ealing, England, W5 5RH. The building is listed as Grade II, Number: 1079376.[2][3][1][4][5]
Outside the building is Romanesque. The old medieval church was demolished in 1720 and a new church opened in 1740, design by James Horne. The current church was designed by the architect S.S.Teulon, who enlarged and redecorated the earlier Georgian church, between 1865-1873, giving it the appearance of a Greek Byzantine basilica. The new building was consecrated in 1866 by Bishop Tait, the Bishop of London, who praised Teulon's alterations at St. Mary's, Ealing, as "the transformation of a Georgian monstrosity into the semblance of a Byzantine Basilica".[6]
A vestry was added in 1887, the organ enlarged in 1927, further redecoration in the 1950s and 'The Polygon' created in 1978. Further restoration was completed in 2003.
The church contains a good collection of Victorian stained glass windows that were commissioned by Thomas Boddington, who lived at Gunnersbury Lodge, in 1864-74.[7] Old wall tablets and a medieval brass to Richard and Kateryn Amondesham (c.1490) were retained from the old church.
The marble and Caen stone reredos was adorned with Salviati mosaics.[8]
There is a memorial to John Horne Tooke (d 1812) by Louis Frederick Roslyn and a modern brass to Walrond Jackson, Bishop of Antigua, who died in Ealing in 1895.
