St Giles Church is in the heart of the old village of Ickenham and set back a little from the main road. It is a typical small aiseless church which is common in what was Middlesex. The bell turret has four bells. the earliest dating from 1510. Much of the church dates from the 14th and 15th centuries. It was enlarged early in the 16th century by a north aisle as wide and nearly as long as the rest of the church. Particularly interesting (according to Pevsner) are "the rustic timber-framed south porch and the pretty little timber bell-turret". The interior has a fine timber roof. The Jacobean wooden font is said to have been recovered from Swakelys where it was being used as a tea caddy or work table.
