Little Stanmore

Little Stanmore was an ancient parish of Middlesex which is today the residential area of Canons Park in the London Borough of Harrow, England.

[3] The medieval St Lawrence's Church was reconstructed by James Brydges, 1st Duke of Chandos in the baroque style.

The architect was John James, who also worked on the Duke of Chandos' nearby house called Cannons (which was demolished in 1747).

The interior retains early eighteenth-century paintings by artists such as Louis Laguerre and there is an organ played by Handel and restored in the 1990s to its original condition.

In the churchyard is a tombstone to William Powell, supposedly "The Harmonious Blacksmith" who inspired one of Handel's keyboard works.
