St Mary's Perivale, Medieval church building in Perivale, England.
St Mary's Perivale is a medieval church with a white timber-framed tower and walls of ragstone and flint construction. The small building holds about 70 people and features modern video equipment with nine cameras for broadcasting events to remote viewers.
The building was founded around 1250 and was once the smallest Anglican church in Middlesex. It ceased religious use in 1972 after the construction of the A40 road isolated it from the surrounding community.
The building now serves as a community arts space, hosting chamber music concerts and displaying works from local artists.
The space is compact with limited visitor capacity, so it is best visited during scheduled events when it is open to the public. Checking ahead for concert and exhibition dates will help you plan your visit effectively.
Three memorial bells cast in 1949 hang in the tower and commemorate fallen members of the parish. These bells serve as a quiet reminder of the building's connection to the local community's wartime losses.
