Pinner Parish Church is dedicated to St John the Baptist. The first known reference to Pinner dates from 1232 but it was not until 1766 that it became an independent parish; prior to that this largely 14th century church was a chapel subordinate to St Mary's, Harrow on the Hill. As Pinner's population dramatically increased in the 20th century so did the importance of its church which is now the mother church of several neighbouring parishes. In this view taken on a bright Autumn day the clock on the 15th century tower is showing the correct time (properly reflecting the end of British summer time the previous day).
