GB 0074 DRO/059 1800-1978 Collection 2.65 linear metres (155 files). Parish of St George, Old Brentford , Church of England

The Township of Old Brentford was formerly part of the ancient parish of Ealing and had no church nor chapel of its own until 1762 when an unconsecrated chapel was built from subscriptions raised from 57 prominent inhabitants. The baptisms, marriages and burials, of inhabitants of Old Brentford continued to be recorded in the registers of St. Mary, Ealing until 1828 when a district was assigned to St George's Chapel. Baptisms were performed there from 1828 and marriages from 1837 when it was licensed for their solemnisation. The brick building constructed in 1766 by J. J. Kirby, in the shadow of the Gas Works, had become dilapidated by 1863 and was demolished in 1886. A new site had been purchased in 1852 but was used as the site for St. Paul's iron church, built in 1861, and another site, bought in 1881, was made superfluous by the creating of the parish of St. James Gunnersbury. Eventually it was decided to build a new church on the old site, designed by A. W. Blomfield. Fittings transferred from the old chapel included a painting of the Last Supper by Zoffany, c. 1770. The church was closed in 1959 and used as a musical museum from 1963. In 1961 St. George was amalgamated with St. Lawrence, New Brentford and St. Paul, Old Brentford.
