The church of Saint Mary Magdalene is the ancient parish church of Woolwich. The original church dated to the 12th century but was becoming ruinous by 1718. The parishioners successfully petitioned Parliament to include the church in the scheme created under the 1711 "Act for the building of Fifty New Churches in the Cities of London and Westminster or the Suburbs thereof". The new church was constructed between 1727 and 1739 by bricklayer Matthew Spray, working under the supervision of two anonymous gentlemen.

The parish has been united with Saint John, Wellington Street (P97/JN) and Holy Trinity, Beresford Square, Woolwich (P97/TRI).
