Osterley

Osterley ( OST-ər-lee) is an affluent district of the historic parish of Isleworth in west London approximately 8.7 miles (14.0 km) from Charing Cross and is part of the London Borough of Hounslow. Most of its land use is mixed agricultural and aesthetic parkland at Osterley House (National Trust), charity-run, much of which is open to paying visitor access. Osterley is on the most elevated soil of the parish, dissected by A4 (The Great West Road) and extends further north than the M4 Motorway. Syon Lane forms the border to the east, while the border with the town of Heston is to the west. Osterley extends to the south of the A4 to at least Church Road based on house deeds, much housing existed before mid 1930s and before the A4, St Mary's Church south of the A4 is also in Osterley. Most of the land of Osterley is the large ancestral private estate of Osterley Park (one of the largest open spaces in west London) and its mansion. These were formerly owned by the Jersey family and were used during World War II as the home for Tom Wintringham's Home Guard training school. They are now National Trust property. During the inter-war period of the 1930s when the Great West Road was completed ribbon development housing appeared, and this gradually expanded to form the comparatively small residential sections within Osterley. Besides Osterley House and Park, the district is also known for one of the London residences of The Sultan of Brunei (The Aviary Farm in Windmill Lane). The electoral ward of Osterley and Spring Grove now has its own dedicated police team as part of the Metropolitan Police Safer Neighbourhoods programme.

St Mary's Church, Osterley
St Mary's Church, Osterley

St Mary's Church, Osterley is a Church of England church on Osterley Road in Osterley, London Borough of Hounslow. Designed by John Taylor the Younger in a Neo-Gothic imitation of the Decorated style it was funded by Henry Daniel Davies, who built the Spring Grove estate of which it formed a part. In 1855 it was said that when the church was opened it would be "placed at the disposal of an able and evangelical minister" and has remained in that churchmanship ever since. The church opened in 1856 and was assigned a parish taken from the ancient parish of Isleworth later the same year. Young built it in brick with stone facings and with two tiers of windows ready for the addition of galleries, though these were never needed. The church includes stained-glass windows designed by Alfred Hassam (1842–1869). In 1875 the parish's living was valued at £459. Davies remained patron of the parish for several years, but eventually its advowson passed to the Church Patronage Society around 1897 Notable events include the 1899 marriage of Sofia Dalgairns, future head of the Metropolitan Police's first Women Patrols. The living was valued at £859 net in 1955–1956. In 1959 a new vicar began a Sunday parish communion service at 9:30 whilst continuing matins at 11, at which time the parish's electoral roll totalled 506. It now forms part of the parish of St Mary's with St Luke's, the latter having opened on Kingsley Road as a Sunday school before 1895 before becoming a mission church (a church of lesser status than a parish church) of St Mary's parish.

Isleworth Hundred
Isleworth Hundred

Isleworth Hundred was a subdivision of the historic county of Middlesex, England. In Domesday Book (1086) it was recorded as Hundeslaw Hundred ("Hounslow Hundred" in modern spelling). It contained three parishes, whose acreage and square miles area is given as at the 1870s-1880s: In 1801 Middlesex measured 734 km². This, the smallest of the county's six hundreds, amounted to 5% of that area. The hundred's name means 'enclosure of Gislhere'.All of the above area in earliest records was exceptionally part of one manor, that of Isleworth based at Syon Abbey. The ownership separated in the middle of the medieval centuries; that of Heston was inherited from marriage of the daughter of Francis Child by the Earl of Jersey (with the Childs-Villier and later Villier surname) until the 20th century seated at the house built by Child employing Robert Adam, Osterley House in the north-east of Isleworth parish. The others two main manors fell into the hands of the Duke of Northumberland (with the surname Percy) who took over the abbey's demense and built Syon House in the east of in Isleworth. The Domesday Book of 1086 names the unit (in its heavily abbreviated fusion of Latin and French) Hounslow Hundred, a term never found again. Hampton to the south-west was stated to be under Hounslow Hundred Court at that date. In the many Feet of Fines, Assize Rolls, subsidy rolls and other central government and manorial court documents, save for a similar reference to Isleworth Hundred in a charter of the 12th century, Hampton is listed as unequivocally part of Spelthorne Hundred. This is explained by the abbey's and then the Percy family's holdings there.Further named clusters of buildings (sometimes termed hamlets) emerged during its relevant currency: Hounslow which was from the 16th century straddled the divide between the first-two named parishes.
