St Leonard's Church, Heston

In Elizabethan times, Heston was rich farmland, famous for its wheat. In the 19th century it became a centre for brick making and it was said that much of London was built of Heston brown brick. St Leonard's Church was rebuilt in 1856 but the tower dates from the 15th century. This view is from a footpath which passes along the south side of the church.
