This online talk entitled ‘St Lawrence’s Church, New Brentford, and Its Burial Grounds’ is to take place at 7.30pm on Monday 21 December.

Brentford and Chiswick Local History Society members David Shailes and Jim Storrar will present an account of the history of the Church and what the burial records reveal about its community in the past.

They have been keeping a close eye on St Lawrence’s while refurbishment work is in progress as part of the redevelopment of Brentford.

The church has been empty for decades and this talk will provide an opportunity to hear something about its significance and history

To book a place at this Zoom talk, email info@brentfordandchiswicklhs.org.uk.

Your details will be added to the list of participants and the Zoom link will be emailed to you a day or so before the event.

There are a limit of 100 places available, so if your plans change and you won’t be attending, let the society know beforehand. Then, if it has a waiting list, your place can be reallocated.

This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets.

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.

If you do support us in this way we’d be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor.

For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you’d like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT.
