Church of St Mary and Parish Hall

The Church of St Mary and the adjacent parish hall were built between 1935 and 1936 to the designs of J. Harold Gibbons, constructed by Messrs Melsom and Rosier of Wealdstone. The church is primarily brick with stone trim, concrete elements, and tile roofs. A Lady Chapel with a single rib vaulted bay features north and south clerestory windows unusually placed on a first-floor level, separated from the chancel by a parapet wall. The chancel comprises two bays and includes a carved baldachhino. A south transept, single-bay in width, serves as the base for the south tower, notable for its exceptionally high and narrow transept arch and a two-light window, the whole ceiling being a painted, ribbed barrel vault. A shallow north transept of two bays utilizes shallow transverse segmental barrel vaults in each bay. The nave, with three bays, includes aisles and a deep west organ gallery housing an early 20th-century organ; the nave clerestory is also present. The south aisle is narrow, with paired lancet windows, some containing stained glass. The north aisle is broader, with sets of three flat-arched windows, several of which include stained glass. A gallery stairway, incorporating a stone baptismal font in the northwest corner of the nave, is a signature element of Gibbons' design. A gilded and painted rood with carved figures is also present, alongside a quadripartite rib vault to the crossing and a ribbed, painted pointed barrel vault to the nave. The original colour scheme remains, featuring a dark blue ceiling with light green and white detailing, with the interior concrete walls largely unpainted.

The west elevation showcases a pair of lancet lights within a stone surround. A recessed entrance porch features double doors and ornamental hinges of original design. A lean-to north aisle roof joins to a flat-roofed south aisle, whose interior ceiling is coffered. Traceried windows are contained primarily to the east half of the church. A sacristy is located under the Lady Chapel, with vestries situated in the northeast and southeast corners. Original wood block paving laid in a herringbone pattern is a further detail, along with a wood pulpit and tester on the south side of the nave, polished marble chancel pavement and steps, and electric light fittings in the nave and sanctuary. A second entrance is located in the base of the south tower, leading into the transept. A three-bay round-arched arcade, termed the cloister, connects the east face of the tower to a clergy house/parish rooms, which run perpendicular to the main axis of the church, forming one side of a deep forecourt to Kenton Road. The parish rooms, constructed from the same materials and in a complementary style as the church, are included in the listing for their group value. The overall style is a restrained Gothic Revival, demonstrating extremely high quality construction and finishes. The refined details of the design, the scale of the interior, and the harmonious colour scheme and lighting combine to create an exceptional interior.
