Dist:0.6km north<br/>The River Crane is the boundary here between the London Boroughs of Hillingdon to the west and Hounslow to the east, and this is the upstream face of the hump-backed bridge where Cranford Lane, Harlington, changes into Park Lane, Cranford, and every local driver blows their horn on the approach!

Dist:0.7km north<br/>St Dunstan's was sited adjacent to Cranford House, belonging to the titled Berkeley family. Buried at this quiet church are 2 earls, 2 lord, 1 viscount, 3 countesses and 1 baroness. The hanging sanctury lamp in the photograph incorporates the coronet of Frederick Augustus, 5th Earl of Berkeley (1745-1810), which was found in the family vaults in 1937.

Dist:0.7km north<br/>A completely unexpected find for me while walking through this graveyard - Tony Hancock is one of my all time comedy heroes so to stumble on this was quite an experience. It deserves a better picture - I only had my phone on hand at the time.

Dist:0.7km north<br/>The metal fencing marks the site of Cranford House. Beyond this area are the ruins of outbuildings and the stable block. The fencing was erected only comparatively recently; I understand that it was erected to protect the surviving cellars from woodland maintenance vehicles.
