The first recorded St Mary the Virgin in Islington was erected in the12th century and replaced in the 15th century. The church fell into a ruinous condition and was rebuilt in 1754 to a design by Lancelot Dowbiggin. The churchyard was enlarged in 1793. With the population growth of Islington, it became full and closed for burials in 1853. It was converted to a one and a half acres public garden in 1885.
