===Extent and development=== By the 1910s the amenities of Heathrow had grown little since the, at latest, 15th-century laying out of the lane.<ref>Diane K Bolton, H P F King, Gillian Wyld and D C Yaxley, 'Harmondsworth: Introduction', in the [[Victoria County History]] collaborative professional historian's series, ''A History of the County of Middlesex'' Volume 4 ed. T F T Baker, J S Cockburn and R B Pugh (London, 1971), pp. 1-7. British History Online http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/middx/vol4/pp1-7</ref> It spanned, north–south, from Kings Arbour orchard to Perry Oaks farm (which sat at the junction of the lane and another).<ref name=os25inch>[http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=15&lat=51.4743&lon=-0.4582&layers=168&b=1 Ordnance Survey 25 Inch (to mile) Map of Middlesex Sheet XIX.8] 1892-1914 series, revised 1912, published 1914</ref> An agricultural cluster of buildings and great house Heathrow Hall were slightly toward the north of the lane. All the homes and farms clung to this 90° turning lane, a turn staggered by two bends. Detailed 1910s maps show its unusual continuing agricultural focus so close to London; about half of the buildings and homes were at the two farms.<ref name=os25inch/> The northern was Heathrow Hall, 500 metres south of the area of Harmondsworth that was from the 16th century until the mid 20th century known as The Magpies,{{Refn|group=n|name=desc}} a mix of terraces and houses on and off of the [[Bath Road]], the west of which was a set of 18 densely packed houses, Belch's Row and the east of which was Sipson Green, further orchard-backed homes along the Bath Road in the same parish.<ref name=os25inch/> Heathrow itself had no terraces, instead small cottages and a few larger houses in large grounds.<ref name=os25inch/> Two offshoot lanes broke away, Cain's Lane southeast to [[Bedfont|New Bedfont]] and High Tree Lane south to West Bedfont (long part of [[Stanwell]]); at the start of Cain's Lane was in the 1910s an Anglican Mission room in the heart of the orchards and fields of Perrotts Farm, the other main cluster of buildings of Heathrow.<ref name=os25inch/> The [[Diocese of London]] was keen to give all people a convenient place of worship. By the end of the 19th century The Magpies had a mission church, on the north side of the Bath Road.<ref name=os25inch/> Sipson Green is covered in the text on the hamlet-turned-village of [[Sipson]]. Both remain intrinsic parts of the ecclesiastical parish of Harmondsworth, whose parish priest is as at {{CURRENTYEAR}} {{Abbreviation|Ven.|The Venerable}} Amatu Onundu Christian-Iwuagwu in a church with elements surviving from initial 1067 construction.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.achurchnearyou.com/church/15741/|title = St Mary Harmondsworth}}</ref> It will be re-sited or see elements curated in a museum if a third runway for Heathrow Airport receives final planning permission and all appeals are dismissed.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://stmarysharmondsworth.com/|title = St Mary's Harmondsworth}} </ref>
