East Acton: St Dunstan's Church

Given the local connection with goldsmiths it is not surprising that the local church should be dedicated to their patron saint, St Dunstan. This is the tower of the church which was built between 1878 and 1879. The church is built in the Decorated style of red brick with white Doulting stone dressings. The tower is at the south-west corner of the church and its broach spire rises to about 140 feet about ground level. It houses a single bell which, after hanging silent for many years, was repaired and returned to operation in the 1990s. This is the view from Vyner Road.
