The Church of England parish of Saint Mary the Virgin was created by Order in Council on 1 September 1857. It was the largest parish in the city and comprised Boongate/Eastgate, Eastfield and Newark (then an outlying village) to the east of Peterborough city centre. A church was commissioned as a "poor church" for the parish and its foundation stone was laid on 30 September 1859. It was designed by the Gothic Revival architect Ewan Christian, built of relatively cheap local stone, and consecrated on 7 August 1860. It had a nave, apse and south aisle, and in 1883 a tower with a saddleback roof was added.
