"St Mary's Church, in Stafford Street, is a neat structure in the lancet Gothic style, erected in the years 1840-2 at the sole expense of Miss Hinckes, of Tettenhall Wood. The tower is crowned by a short spire. The communion plate is magnificent and antique, the chalice being 700 years old.
The living is a vicarage, in the patronage of Miss Hinckes, and incumbency of the Rev George Fraser."
[From History, Gazetteer and Directory of Staffordshire, William White, Sheffield, 1851]

The ecclesiastical parish of St Mary was formed on 29th May 1843.
St Mary's church was built of white brick, in a plain Gothic style, and consisted of a chancel, nave, aisles, transepts, and a tower with turret and spire containing one bell which formerly hung in Tettenhall church. It had a fine alter piece of old Flemish work, circa 1640, and an ancient Norman font which was discovered in a farmyard and restored. In the south transept was a memorial window to the Rev George Fraser, BD, the first incumbent of the church, 1842-67.
St Mary's was closed in 1948. The early Flemish and German glass from the east window was fixed in the large windows on the north and south sides of the chancel of St Peter's, Wolverhampton.
