St Michael's Church on Elmwood Road in the Sutton Court area of Grove Park, Chiswick, was designed in the Arts and Crafts style[3] by the architects W. D. Caröe & Herbert Passmore; it was founded in 1908 and completed in 1909.
The crossing-point of the roof is marked by a turret with shingles and tiles; on the north of the crossing is "a curiously domestic excrescence"[5] for ventilation and the church's belfry.
Inside, the font, lectern, and pulpit were brought from St Michael on the Strand, while the 1911 choir stalls were designed by Caröe.
[5][6] The historian Jennifer Freeman writes of the building that "the emphasis externally is on the craftwork, on careful stone dressings, on subtle variations in the tilework, on the timbering, brickwork and leadwork",[7][8] while it fits into its environment sensitively, in a place "still leafy enough to evoke the setting of a simple country church.
[7] The church was the last of the Anglican parishes of Chiswick to be created, serving the new population of the Grove Park area west of Sutton Court Road, which had consisted up until the 1900s mainly of orchards and market gardens.
