St Mary's Church shosen as Harrow's landmark for 2012 London Olympics pin badge
ST MARY'S Church in Harrow on the Hill has been voted to be featured in a celebratory set of 'London Landmark' 2012 Olympics pin badges.
Residents from across the capital participated in a web vote for which building they would like to represent their borough on the brooches.
The poll took place in September and the results were announced in the run up to the 1,000 days to go milestone on Saturday October 31.
Reverend Tim Gosden, the vicar of St Mary's Church in Church Hill, said: "I think it's wonderful news that the people of Harrow have voted for this church."
St Mary's Church beat off competition from Headstone Manor in Pinner View, Harrow, Harrow School, High Street, Harrow on the Hill and Harrow Arts Centre, Uxbridge Road, Harrow Weald.
In Brent, Neasden Temple in Neasden succeeded against the only other shortlisted location, the Grand Union Canal, which runs through the borough.

I have attended services at this church and I'm very pleased it has been chosen. Well deserved.
Congratulations to the Reverend Tim Gosden, vicar of Saint Marys Church for being chosen as HarrowÃÅœs landmark for the 2012 Olympics.
My parents, Dorothy Gilton and Joseph Loftus, were married at St. Marys on this date, 14th. September, in 1935, and I would love to have any records of their wedding, as they are now both dead, & I have no complete wedding photo, only a fragment remains. I know this photo was taken by the Harrow Observer as the Observer stamp is clearly visible on the back of the piece.
I would be most grateful for any information or a photo, if possible.
I live in Spain & recently completed chemotherapy, so am not well enough to travel to England.
I only have their Marriage Certificate.
Many thanks,
Celia Loftus Gilton.
