Bridget, yes. Jones, no.
I'm not a spiritual person, but I thought the local Catholic church looked rather nice in the evening sun.
Our Lady of Sorrows & St.Bridget's church was built 1907-10 (the tower was added in 1927), but Isleworth's connections to the Swedish Bridgettine order of nuns is somewhat older.
The Monastery of St.Saviour & St.Bridget was built on the site of the present Syon House in 1431. It was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1539, but Catherine Howard was imprisoned there for three months in 1541-2.
A warning to future Queen Catherines?
