The foundation stone of the Church of Saint Mary the Virgin was laid on 8 July 1904. The church was quickly built and was consecrated on 4 March 1905. It was a chapel of ease to the Parish Church of Saint Anne, Wandsworth (P95/ANN).

It was not used for worship for very long. Bomb damage of 1944 necessitated extensive restoration so it was decided to turn the sanctuary and choir into a chapel, and the rest of the building into a hall. The church was closed and the congregation transferred to Saint Anne's Church. During 1950, however, Saint Mary's Church was used by the congregation of Saint Anne's Church while the latter church was being repaired after a devastating fire. The building was sold in 2000.

The Churches of Saint Mary the Virgin and of Saint Anne, Wandsworth are very closely connected in their history. Many references to Saint Mary's occur in the records of Saint Anne's Church, and it is worth checking both catalogues.
