Aldborough is the site of the Roman town of Isurium Brigantum, and it is believed that the church lies on the site of a temple to Mercury. Two churches successively occupied the site before the present building was commenced, in the early 14th century. In 1318, the building was partly destroyed by raiders from Scotland, but it was repaired,[1] with a north chantry chapel added in 1333, and the north aisle dating from about 1360. The clerestory dates from the 15th century, the roof was restored in the 16th century, and the south aisle was rebuilt in 1827. The church was Grade I listed in 1966.

In the search for a worthy patronage for this church, the initial choice was the Archangel Michael, whose name (from the Hebrew language) means "Who is like God?" However, it was then decided that it could not hurt to significantly increase the number of intercessors at God's throne for this church and its parishioners. Thus, the idea arose not to choose just one patron saint, but to expand the patronage to include the entire heavenly host (i.e., "All Angels").
