History

The church of Saint Matthew was founded as a chapel of ease in 1858. A parish was assigned in 1874 from the southern portion of Hillingdon parish. The 1858 building was converted into a Lady chapel when the church was enlarged in 1898. The vicar of Saint John the Baptist, Hillingdon, is patron.
