Ascot, Windsor and the surrounds of our parish are home to many sites of significant historical interest reaching back over a thousand years.

Catholicism has had its own fascinating and varied history in the country at large as well as specifically within this region and parish. Several experienced and qualified historians have at different times made extensive studies of the churches, iconography and unique parish histories found here and parishioners.

The records of Catholic presence in and around Windsor and Ascot are irregular down to the end of the eighteenth century, when part of a house at Frogmore in Windsor was used as a chapel. In 1810 John Riley turned a room of his house in Windsor into a chapel and his son built a chapel at Clewer Green.  (enlarged 1844).
