St Mary's Church, Twickenham

The red brick church building features Tuscan pilasters, stone decorations, and an original 15th-century medieval tower incorporated into its current structure.

After the 14th-century nave collapsed in 1713, architect John James rebuilt the church in Neo-classical style with support from local painter Godfrey Kneller.

The church contains multiple 18th-century monuments, including memorials for Lady Margaret Wildman, Admiral Sir Chaloner Ogle, and a brass memorial from 1443.

Located on Church Street in central Twickenham, the building maintains daily operations from 8 AM and offers regular services on Sundays and Wednesdays.

Two Indian princes received baptism at St Mary's Church on June 20, 1721, followed by Hallam Tennyson, son of poet Alfred Lord Tennyson, a century later.
