St Mary the Virgin Churchyard, Perivale (also known as West London Arts Centre, Perivale Parish Church)

Introduction

The churchyard has many 18th- and 19th-century monuments and two fine yews; the lych gate was erected in 1904/5 to the memory of the wife of music publisher John Boosey. The church closed in 1972, after the parish was bisected by the A40 with a new church built to serve the north of the parish. In 1976 a group of volunteers got together to rescue the church and leased it from the Diocese as the Friends of St Mary's Perivale. It is now a venue for musical and other events.
