The Hermitage was built in 1809 for The Rector of St. Mary's, Hanwell on the site of an old house called the Elms. One of the many springs in the locale still trickles from the garden at the rear. Pevsner commented: The gem of the area surrounding Churchfields Recreation Grounds is The Hermitage. A peach of an early c19 Gothic thatched cottage with two pointed windows, a quatrefoil, and an ogee arched door, all on a minute scale. Inside, an octagonal hall and reception room? (Pevsner, London 3: North West).
