The earliest evidence of a place of worship in Tarrant Gunville can be seen in the arcading set into the wall of the north aisle, which suggests a date of about 1100 AD.

By the beginning of the 19th century, the previous building to the present one, was falling into decaying much of it was pulled down; and the main body of the Church in its present form was completely rebuilt. The architect T.H.Wyatt followed the lines of the old building as far as possible and St Mary's was consecrated on 2nd October 1845.
