The church was built between 1787 and 1790 on a plot donated from his estate by James Tylney-Long. It was designed by architect Thomas Hardwick. When the present St Mary's was completed, an earlier church sited 70 feet to the south was demolished. The sculptor Joseph Wilton and the Royal Navy Vice-Admiral Robert Plampin are buried in the churchyard. St Mary's is the only Grade I listed building in the London Borough of Redbridge. It shares its Wanstead parish with Christ Church.
