The first church for the parish was built in the vicinity of the present Marble Arch c.1200, and dedicated to St John the Evangelist. In 1400 the Bishop of London gave the parishioners permission to demolish the church of St John and build a new one in a more convenient position, near a recently completed chapel, which could be used until the new church was completed. The bishop stipulated that the old churchyard should be preserved, but also gave permission to enclose a new burial ground at the new site,The church was dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It was closer to the village, at the north end of Marylebone High Street. Having fallen into a state of decay, it was demolished in 1740. A new, smaller, church built on the same site opened in April 1742. It was an oblong brick building with a small bell tower at the west end. The interior had galleries on three sides. Some monuments from the previous church were preserved in the new building. In 1818, it became a chapel-of-ease to the new parish church which superseded it . It was demolished in 1949, and its site, at the northern end of Marylebone High Street is now a public garden.
