Geschiedenis
Sunbury on Thames parish covered 2,658 acres in 1930. It was bordered by the River Thames, the River Ash and a lesser stream. In 1908 the parish was enlarged to include Feltham Hill, Shepperton, Littleton and some of Hampton.
The Vestry of Sunbury was usually composed of between 6 and 12 people, responsible for poor relief and other parish business. 5 cottages were used as poor-houses in addition to a larger house used as a workhouse.
The church of Saint Mary stood on the south side of the village. Parts of the medieval church survive; the whole building was restored in 1863.
