Parish History[edit | edit source]
UXBRIDGE, (St Margaret) a market-town and chapelry, and the head of a union, in the parish of Hillingdon, hundred of Elthorne, county of Middlesex, 15 miles W by N from London with the district of Uxbridge Moor. The most ancient name of this place was Oxebreuge, or Woxbrigge, which afterwards passed through the several variations of Waxbridge, Woxbridge, and Oxbridge, whence its present name. The chapel or church, dedicated to St. Margaret, and built about 1447. There are places of worship for Baptists, the Society of Friends and Independents.[1]
The Uxbridge parish church is St Margaret's from 1842. Prior to that it was strictly speaking, a chapel[ry] dedicated to St Margaret, under the mother parish of Hillingdon. Therefore prior to 1842 the parish church was in Hillingdon, St John the Baptist and not Uxbridge. In 1842 Uxbridge became a parish in its own right, and thus had a parish church of its own.[2]
Also note that the chapelry of St John Uxbridge was constituted and built by the year 1827, lying within the civil parish boundaries of St John Hillingdon.
