In 1901, a chapel for a convent from Harley Place in Marylebone was dismantled and then reassembled in Wembley Green.

However, by the early 1950s, it was recorded that there were 1,650 people, mostly Irish families who had moved from nearby Willesden.

They designed over fifty churches in England in the post-World War II reconstruction.

They used modern materials and techniques to build churches in Romanesque, Byzantine and Gothic styles.

After 1965, changes were made to the interior of the church with a stone altar installed at the front of the sanctuary.
