Ealing / Gilling / Gillingas / Illing / Ylling

No individual entry for Ealing found in the Domesday survey. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Middlesex, vol. 7, 1982) notes: "The church at Ealing was in the gift of the bishop of London c. 1127 [...] The church served the whole parish [...] until part of Ealing was assigned to St. George's, Old Brentford, in 1828 and a new district was formed for Christ the Saviour in 1852. [...] The church of ST. MARY, called St. Mary of the Assumption in 1446, (fn. 52) stands at the south end of St. Mary's Road, at least the second building on the site. A church stood there in the late 14th century [...] A brief for rebuilding was obtained in 1733 (fn. 63) and the shell of the fabric was complete in 1739, when an Act permitted borrowing on security of the rates. [...] Opened in 1740 [...] The 18thcentury church was remodelled and extended between 1865 and 1873 in a Venetian style by S. S. Teulon. [...] The church was restored in 1955 [...] and the church lounge was added on the south in 1959 and much enlarged as the parish centre in 1977-8 [...] The ancient pillared font was replaced in 1743." The church was restored 2002-2003.
