Geschiedenis
It is presumed that the church at Cowley was founded by Westminster Abbey, which held the manor of Cowley. The advowson therefore descended with the manor until 1924 when it was granted to the Bishop of London. The parish served the same area from the 12th century until 1865 when parts of the parish became part of the new parish of Saint Andrew, Hillingdon. In 1884 an area of Hillingdon was transferred to Cowley parish. The church of Saint Laurence dates in part to the 12th century, with extensions of 1780.
