Ware Parish is one of the oldest in the state, formed in 1657, three years after Gloucester County's formation.

Although a church was built on this site about 1690, the current generally accepted date for the one-story, rectangular brick structure topped by a steeply pitched gable roof is about 1715. Both structures were built during the rectorship of James Clack (1679-1723).

During the American Civil War, federal troops encamped in the yard, and the church was not again repaired and restored to full use until 1878.
