Also known as Chelsea Old Church, the church originates from the 12th century. It was severely damaged by the blast from a parachute mine on the night of 16/17 April 1941. Broken memorials were repaired and the church was rebuilt by the architect Walter Godfrey, who was also Director of the National Buildings Record. The church was reconsecrated in 1958.
