Biographical history
In 1882, the temporary iron church of St Andrew was erected in Mount Park Road in the northern part of the parish of Christ Church, Ealing. The priest-in-charge was William Petty, curate of Christ Church. In 1889, the dedication was changed to St Peter, in order to avoid confusion with the nearby newly built Presbyterian church of St. Andrew. Due to the increasing population of the area, a larger, permanent church was soon needed and in 1891 the building of the present church, designed by John Dando Sedding, was begun on land adjoining the temporary church site. The church was consecrated by the bishop of London, 15th July 1893, and the formation of the new parish was ratified by Order in Council, 27th July 1894. William Petty was instituted to the living, 25th November 1894. After building, considerable improvements were made to the church, most notably with the building of the organ in 1894 and the addition of the lady chapel in 1913. In 1956, following a fire, the sanctuary was restored. Certain features of Sedding's original design, however, in particular a tower and spire on the North transept, were never executed due to lack of money. The vicarage was built in 1910 and the parish hall in Hillcroft Crescent in 1923. The Hillcroft Crescent site was subsequently sold and a new church centre built, 1977-80. In 1988, St Barnabas, St. Peter, St. Stephen, Ealing Group Ministry was formed.
