For about 800 years St Mary's has been the centre of Christian worship in Alfrick. Like Lulsley it was a chapelry of the ancient parish of Suckley until 1912 when it became a separate benefice.
Following the closure of Lulsley church in 1973, the two parishes combined with several features of St Giles' Lulsley being incorporated in St Mary's. The north transept is now called the Lulsley Chapel.

Much of the medieval structure remains including the beautiful open timbering of the nave roof of about 1440. The pulpit dates from the 1600s. In 1953 all the windows were re-glazed with hand-made glass incorporating pieces from Flemish churches.
During the restoration work in 1885 the vestry and north transept were added. The architect was Aston Webb whose work included the frontage of Buckingham Palace.

The church has connections with Lewis Carroll (Author of Alice in Wonderland) whose brother was curate at one time.
