history
The church was first mentioned in 1154. With the exception of the tower (construction began in 1440), the current church dates from the late Victorian era (renovated in 1880–81). In the church there are many memorial stones from the previous church. The church tower and parts of the interior are Grade II buildings .
The building and churchyard are near Bishop's Park . The church has a long association with the Bishops of London who were Lords of the Manor of Fulham and is the burial place of many of them. Nearby Fulham Palace is the former manor house of Fulham and the former residence of the bishops.
Putney Bridge is the only bridge in England with a church at each end. The St. Mary's Church is located in Putney on the south shore, and All Saints' Church, Fulham, on the north shore.
