caption_attribution_description: English: St Mary's Church, Northolt, Middlesex This 13th Century church is at the historic centre of the village of Northolt. There is still a village green nearby, and fields and open land to the South, although all around are housing estates.
context_page_description: Northolt is an area in the London Borough of Ealing, London, England, and is 11 miles west-northwest of Charing Cross.
  It had a population of 30,304 at the 2011 UK census.
context_section_description: St Mary the Virgin church (14th century) stands on the hill overlooking the old village. The Welsh poet Goronwy Owen was briefly a curate here. Bishop Samuel Lisle is buried here.
  In the centre of the village is a freestanding clock tower erected to commemorate the coronation of George VI in 1937.
  The White Hart public house is on the site of an old coaching inn. The roundabout immediately south of it is on the junction of the A312 (Church Road and Hayes Bypass) with the A4180 (Ruislip Road and West End Road). The Yeading Lane also joins the roundabout. (Now closed)
  Willow Cottages on the village green are said to have been built of bricks from the old manor house, which once stood behind the parish church.
  The two towers of the disused RAF radio station north of the town are situated in the Wood End wireless station recreation ground, which is bordered on all sides by housing (Bayshill Rise, Lancaster Road, Blenheim road). The location is now home to a National Air Traffic Control base.
  Northala Fields is a large area alongside the A40 road which has been redeveloped as an extension to the Northolt and Greenford Country Park. The development consists of four large, man-made conical hills (built of rubble from the first Wembley Stadium), which act as a sound barrier to block traffic noise from the Western Avenue. Behind the mounds are new ponds and a visitor centre.
  The Larkspur Rovers F.C. clubhouse is in Rowdell Road, Northolt. It received funding from Ealing Council and an Olympic legacy grant of £50,000 from Sport England's Inspired Facilities Fund.
  There is a village community centre building in Ealing Road, opposite St Mary's church, which incorporates an open-air miniature railway.
  A leisure centre, incorporating a pool, a fitness centre, a community hall and a library was built on the site of the former Swimarama swimming pool at the junction of Mandeville Road and Eastcote Lane North, and opened in 2010.
  Down Barns Moated Site, a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
