Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

The church at Finchley was first mentioned in 1274 although it was probably founded earlier. The benefice is a rectory in the patronage of the Bishop of London. The church was dedicated to Saint Mary from 1356. The oldest parts of the existing building date to the late 15th century, although the church building has several later extensions and additions. Saint Mary's has several daughter churches, founded from 1832 onwards.
