Anglican St. Mary's Church in Wimbledon is both ancient and relatively new. The first mention of it dates back to the XI century, the current form of it is found only in the XIX century. Curious to see how the Church is changing and growing along with Wimbledon.

The entry in the Domesday Book of 1086, (it was recorded the results of Europe's first census) States: "the Church". From the most ancient, the temple is left nothing that is quite natural: the population of Wimbledon then did not exceed 100 people, and the Church was most likely wood. At the end of the XIII century, when the population grew to 125 people, there was built a stone Church with a wooden bell tower, topped by a spire. During the reformation to settle in Wimbledon has become fashionable among court officials, but the Church remained the same until the middle of XVIII century, when the population began to grow rapidly. In 1760 the building was renovated and expanded galleries. Part of the walls of the medieval Church preserved them today and can be seen in the Western part of each pass.

In the life of the Church, as in the life of Wimbledon, the railroad has changed a lot, who came here in 1838. The population began to grow faster, the temple was in need of at least another 400 places for praying. Project in the style of late Gothic style was designed by sir George Gilbert Scott, one of the most prolific British architects of the Victorian era. The project budget was extremely limited. Scott met this condition, using the design of the old building, so the Church and retained the features of its predecessors.

A distinctive feature of the Church is placed a large number of monuments to prominent parishioners. On the South side of the altar is a memorial plaque in memory of Walter Reynolds, the Lord Chancellor under Edward II and Archbishop of Canterbury (elected in 1313). The other Board is placed as a token of gratitude to Ralph and Anna Wilbraham who donated valuable Cup, it has been used until now. In the churchyard you can see the tomb of sir Joseph William Bazalgette, the famous engineer, who managed to rebuild the London sewer after the "great stink" of 1858.

Due to numerous reconstructions from the middle ages of the Church were little. More interesting is the chapel of Cecil, built by sir Edward Cecil, Viscount Wimbledon, as a family crypt. A small window in the South wall of the chapel contains the only stained glass, preserved from the fifteenth century, it depicts St. George.

To the West of the chapel of Cecil is a chapel dedicated to the Wimbledon men who gave their lives in two world wars. On paneled with oak paneling wall mounted bronze plaques with the names and military ranks wimbledona, he did not return home.
