Greenwich St Alfege Greenwich High Road is an Ancient Parish in North West Kent. The chapel of ease St Mary in King William Walk was part of this parish. The chapel of ease was built in 1823 and closed in 1919 (demolished 1936) It kept no separate register.

The church dates from 1711 and was the first of the "Fifty new churches" to be built from the 1711 Act [New Churches in London and Westminster Act 1710 (9 Anne c. 17)] and was designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor.

The church has been designated a grade I listed building by English Heritage British Listed Building

See also Edward Hasted, The History and Topographical Survey of the County of Kent: Volume 1 (1797), pp. 372-420 at British History Online.
