Brent Lea Recreation Ground

St Lawrence's Church had close connections with the Manor of Boston, and may have been built by Lord of the Manor Ralf de Brito in the C12th. The medieval church was rebuilt in 1764 retaining its C15th tower, and later remodelled in 1875. It ceased to be used as a church in 1969 and is closed, although there are plans for its eventual use as a theatre and restaurant. Among those buried in the churchyard were members of the Clitherow family who owned Boston Manor from 1670-1924.

Originally the site of a medieval abbey founded in 1415, Syon was named after Mount Zion in the Holy Land. The gardens at Syon have an extensive collection of rare trees and plants, a legacy of the landscaping by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown for the Duke of Northumberland.

First records of a Friends Meeting at Brentford date from 1659, which lapsed when John Woolrich, at whose house the meetings were held, was arrested. In 1706 meetings were held in a barn in Old Brentford but from 1731 there was a movement to set up a new Meeting House. This led to the purchase in 1785 of a small plot of land from Benjamin Angell, a wealthy Quaker. The earliest burials took place in the area to the north of the Meeting House. In 1824 an additional strip of land to the south was given by Sarah Angell for a burial ground and it was used as such from 1855 onwards, remaining open for burials today.
