Recorded as a settlement as far back as the Norman conquest in the 11th Century, 'Old Isleworth' is steeped in history and enjoys a beautiful setting alongside the banks of the Thames. All Saints Church, which stands at the Eastern end of Church Street, forms the heart of the community and dates from the 14th Century. A tunnel linking All Saint's Church with the London Apprentice Pub, on the waterfront, is believed to have been used by river smugglers. The picturesque views found here were the inspiration for the artists William Turner and Vincent Van Gogh who both lived here. Lower Square and Church Street both have buildings dating from the 18th and early-19th centuries.
Facilities in Isleworth include a public library, a leisure centre, four recreation grounds and a town hall. Syon Park - the London home of the Duke of Northumberland provides a range of leisure facilities and houses the newly opened Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Old Isleworth is ideally positioned for a commute to Central London or Heathrow. Good transport links include the H37 bus (to Richmond), Isleworth and Syon Lane railway stations and easy access to both the Piccadilly line (Osterley) and District line (Richmond).
Richard Reynolds was hung, drawn and quartered by Henry VIII for opposing the formation of the Church of England. He was the first person to be martyred for this and was canonised in 1970. He was sent by Henry VIII to Syon Monastery (now Syon House) and subsequently executed in the 1540's. It is unknown whether he ever came to the site of Richard Reynolds House (which was given its name by a Catholic family in the 19th Century).
