Harlington and Harmondsworth are two ancient Middlesex parishes that today are now the southernmost parts of the London Borough of Hillingdon. For more than a thousand years they remained in peaceful obscurity but since 1944 they have contained within their boundaries most of Heathrow Airport. The development of Heathrow has drastically changed their character over the last 50 years and continually threatens their very existence.

Part 1 of the book deals with aspects of their history from the time that they first appeared in written records in the ninth century up to the present day. Part 2 of the book is a guided illustrated tour of the villages which include not only Harlington and Harmondsworth but also the villages of Sipson, Longford and the lost hamlet of Heathrow that are part of the large parish of Harmondsworth.
