Histórico
St Margaret's in the township of Uxbridge was built possibly as early as 1200, and administered as a chapel of ease to the parish of Hillingdon. In 1842 the chapelry became a separate parish.
It was stated from the 1650s onwards that, although Uxbridge remained technically part of Hillingdon parish, the townspeople had always elected their own officers and maintained their poor independently of the parent parish. The Uxbridge Vestry appointed parish officials including constables, headboroughs, and ale-conners; and were responsible for poor relief and the management of the workhouse and almshouses.
