Church History

Hanwell Methodist Church was built in 1904. During 2004, in order to celebrate its centenary, a series of monthly activities took place which were aimed at involving not only its own Church members, but also associated Circuit and District members, the local community, past members and ministers and anyone who had links with the Church over the past 100 years.

From the Past

As part of the history of Hanwell is the fact that Brunel’s first major work, the Wharncliffe Viaduct and his last major work, the Three Bridges, are both in Hanwell close to our Church. It is also well known that Charlie Chaplin was at school in what is now the Community Centre on the Cuckoo Estate in Hanwell.

It is said that Queen Victoria used to stop her train when travelling over the Wharncliffe Viaduct to admire the view of the Brent Valley. Today the Brent Valley Walk, the parks, the Church and the golf course are all worth a visit.
