Uxbridge St Margaret, Middlesex Genealogy

England Middlesex  Middlesex Parishes

Parish History
The Uxbridge parish church is St Margaret's from 1842. Prior to that it was strictly speaking, a chapel dedicated to St Margaret, under the mother parish of Hillingdon. Therefore prior to 1842 the parish church was in Hillingdon, St John the Baptist and not Uxbridge.In 1842 Uxbridge became a parish in its own right, and thus had a parish church of it's own.
