History
The parish of Saint Thomas, Acton Vale, was founded in 1915. The Bishop of London is patron. The parish replaced Saint Barnabas's. The site of the church was donated by the Goldsmiths' Company of London; while the construction was funded by the sale of the site of Saint Thomas Charterhouse, Goswell Road. The building was designed by Sir A. Blomfield in a Perpendicular style. A parish centre was added in 1973.
