Possibly of Saxon origin, and considered to be the oldest building in Brent, St Andrew's Old Church nestles in a wooded grove to the south of its Victorian successor which dominates the skyline.
St Andrew's retains the feel of an old country parish church.
Inside are fine brasses and memorials to well-known local families dating from the 16th- to 19th-centuries.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
Thank you for your lovely website and the opportunity to view this beautiful old church.
I believe my great, great, great, great grandfather was a Deacon and Treasurer of Wells Street Chapel Oxford Street London. This chapel, I believe was moved from the above address to its present site and renamed St Andrews Church - I hope this is correct!
My ancestor's name was Christie. I have no other first names.
Grandfather Christie died in January 1838 and was buried in Bunhill Row Burying Ground. He was a tobacco and snuff manufacturer at 43 Brewer Street Golden Square, West End, London. One of the largest manufacturers at the time.
I hope to visit St Andrews sometime this year on a visit from Melbourne, Australia.
Thanking you
Susan Trott
