The parish church sits at the corner of Kensington High and Church streets. It was rebuilt by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1869-72 and has a 254 feet high spire, reputedly London's highest spire, modelled on St Mary Redcliffe in Bristol. Its name comes from the 1100 grant of land in Kensington to abbots in Abingdon.
