Albury had a parish church by the beginning of the 13th century. It had a small nave and chancel, two Norman doorways and a 14th-century Decorated Gothic east window. The church’s dedicatee was Saint Helen. In 1828 the church was demolished and in 1830 a new St. Helen’s was completed, designed by the Gothic Revival architect Thomas Rickman. The only feature that Rickman retained from the old church was the 12th-century font. The architect A. Mardon Mowbray restored the building in 1891. By 1552 the old St. Helen’s belfry had two bells. The new St. Helen’s also has two, but these were cast in 1686 and the 18th century.
