History
Saint Michael and All Angels began as a series of mission meetings in rented rooms in 1876. In 1879 the meetings moved to Melville Road and in 1885 the London Diocesan Home Mission instituted a new mission. The separate parish was formed in 1892 from the parishes of Saint Mary, Willesden and All Souls, Harlesden. The church, a red brick building in late thirteenth century style, was built in 1891 by Goldie and Child, and enlarged in 1904. It had three missions:
1) Good Shepherd, Acton Lane, Lower Place. Services were held by a curate of Saint Michael's c. 1883. In 1890 a new mission building was erected. The Good Shepherd Mission closed after 1908. It is mentioned in the baptism register DRO/112/008;
2) Saint Cecilia, Acton Lane, Harlesden. This mission church opened in 1895 and closed in 1956. Baptisms performed at the church are recorded in the following registers; DRO/112/008-010. There are also service registers covering the period 1895-1923 (ref. DRO/112/052-053);
3) Saint Peter, Harrow Road, Stonebridge. This mission was in operation from 1902. It closed after 1937.
