St Mary's Church, Acton, London

The present church, in red brick with stone dressings in a decorated style, was designed by Horace Francis and constructed 1865–1867.

In 1642, the church was damaged by Roundhead soldiers after the Battle of Turnham Green:[4] the font was defaced, windows smashed, the chancel rails taken into the street to be burnt, and most of the memorial brasses destroyed.

[3][5] They also set fire to the rectory outbuildings, objecting to the ceremonial practice of the rector, Daniel Featley.

Featley, a Calvinist anti-Laudian but a royal chaplain and a defender of the Church of England, twice escaped assassination, and was ejected from the living of Acton in 1643.

[5] The parish is in the Deanery of Ealing, in the Archdeaconry of Northolt, in the Willesden Episcopal Area of the Diocese of London.
