I'm guessing the land isnt/wasnt consecrated? (non-conformists) Ive attached a map highlighting the property in yellow, and 2 photos of the current house on that property at 493 Bath Road, which I believe is owned by a Mr Mihai Patrascu. Eilish mentioned yesterday that the {racing car} McClarens might also have an ancestor burried there. I'll keep you updated on anything else I find.

I am very glad that the information I supplied is useful to you and am impressed by the speed of your response! Thank you also for the picture and map. The photo I sent to you was taken on Monday, when I travelled across London from West Norwood as I had not seen the property before (except on Google Earth and the auction catalogue mentioned in my Wikipedia article). My own interest in the building and its grounds is that my 7x great grandparents William & Susanna Blinco of Iver were buried there in 1683 and 1690 respectively, as was Susanna's second husband - Richard Guydon - in 1689.

Ancestry's indexing is notorious for its mistakes and omissions, so do not just rely on the indexes. It is best also to choose a scanned image from the index and then work back and forward through the whole of the primary document. I am afraid I don't know anything about the 1859 Baptist Chapel in Longford.

Francis Howcutt ++++ Longford Meeting House, Middlesex From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigationJump to search Longford Meeting House is a Grade II listed building, formerly used by the Society of Friends for worship, that stands on a site at the south side of Bath Road, Longford, a short distance to the east of the Duke of Northumberland's River. Building A detailed description of this building, identified by Historic England as “Longford Cottage, Bath Road, Longford, Hayes”, is included in the relevant entry on its website.[1] The description there appears to be based on an external inspection of the structure and was composed in 1974 when the property was first listed. It states the building is a timber-framed cottage of 16th-century appearance with a tiled roof and nogging of old narrow bricks. There is a gabled extension to the west of the original structure. History Meetings of the Society of Friends had started at Longford by 1669, initially in a private house. In 1672, land was bought by the Longford Monthly Meeting for a burying place. A purpose-built meeting house was erected on part of the land and opened for use in 1676. Meetings continued to be held there until 1794. The Quakers sold the building in 1875, after which it was converted into a cottage.[2] The same source states that the building had been demolished by the date of publication. However, an apparently 19th-century photograph held by the Library of the Religious Society of Friends[3] shows a building with the same shape and pattern of external timbers as the picture that illustrated the auction catalogue when the property was offered for sale in 2012.[4] The catalogue states that the building was “historically used as a Quaker Meeting House” and gives its postal address as Longford Cottage, 493 Bath Road, Longford, West Drayton, Middlesex, UB7 0EN.
