The Church of Saint Mary was built in Kentish rag in the Decorated style by A D Gough in 1860-61 on a site presented by a Mr Warlters.

In 1982 the parish was united with that of Saint Stephen, Elthorne Road to become Saint Mary Hornsey Rise with Saint Stephen. Saint Stephen's church was closed and demolished in 1983.
