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[ry] 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. Also note that the chapelry of St John Uxbridge was constituted and built by the year 1827, lying within the civil parish boundaries of St John Hillingdon.
