St Giles Church.

A Memory of Ickenham.

We moved to Ickenham in early 1960s and attended the parish church of St Giles. It is a very old church, once belonging to the estate of Swakeleys House, and is on the corner of a very busy T junction, but when inside it is very quiet and peaceful with memorials to the Vyners family on the walls.
I sang in the choir on Sundays. In 1972, my husband Bob, and myself were married here. It was a very hot day for the middle of March and our family and friends came to share our celebration. We walked through the churchyard to our reception in the Church Hall. Later in 1975 our son, Mark, was christened here on a warm June day.
We lived in Ickenham for over 10 years and since we left many more houses have been built as there is easy access to commute to London on the Underground.
