Saint Mary's originated in a proprietary chapel constructed between 1805 and 1808 on the initiative of several wealthy Balham residents, including William Wilberforce. In 1824 the building was extended; and in 1855 it was consecrated as a parish church and dedicated to Saint Mary. Further extensions were added in 1882 and 1903. The church was damaged by bombing during the Second World War and in 1976 after an IRA bomb went off in the area.
