Biographical history
The first mention of a church at Putney is in 1292. Saint Mary's served the ancient parish of Putney, and was the only church in the parish until 1845, when a separate parish was created at Roehampton. The parish was a peculiar of the See of Canterbury until 1846 when it was transferred to the See of London. In 1877 it was transferred again, to the See of Rochester, before a final transfer to the Diocese of Southwark in 1905. In 1874 a second church was constructed in the parish, All Saints on Putney Common (P95/ALL3). The parish also included the church of Saint John the Evangelist (P95/JNE3).
The medieval church tower survives, as does some early arcading and a chapel. Much of the church was rebuilt in 1836. In 1973 an arson attack gutted the church. Rebuilding was completed in 1982.
