All Saints' Church, Isleworth
All Saints' Church is the oldest parish church in Isleworth in the London Borough of Hounslow in south-west London. Its 14th-century Kentish ragstone tower and foundations are the only pre–20th-century parts to survive. It faces the Thames before Church Street skirts away from the river to pass Syon Park.

The patron of the church became the trustees of St George's Chapel, Windsor, due to the dissolution of the monasteries.
