The church is located on Ferry Road in Teddington, opposite the former St Alban's Church, which is now an arts centre. The oldest parts of the building date from the 16th century.[1] The building has been Grade II* listed with English Heritage since 1952.[2]
The church's most famous vicar was the Reverend Stephen Hales, a scientist whose legacy is the nearby National Physical Laboratory and who is buried next to the church's tower.[3]
