Title: St. Mary's Church, Slough. January 2008 [Go to resource]
Description: St. Mary's dates from 1837 and was enlarged in 1878. However, by 1907 the Slough population was growing so fast that it was thought that the building was again too small. A committee was formed to build a new west end, tower and spire. The architect who designed the 1878 enlargement, John Oldrid Scott, was again selected to design the extension. The tower, spire and newly installed bells were dedicated by the Bishop of Stepney on 19th June 1913. The spire that still features so prominently on Slough's skyline is thought to be the last one in the country to have been built of stone.
