Ashford is recorded in Domesday Book. Between 1174 and 1185, Osbern Fitzhugh granted Ashford to William Carbonel, whose ancestors appear to have been the lords of Canisy, near St. Lo in Normandy. Until 1880, the church was a dependency of the church at nearby Little Hereford, which is also dedicated to Mary Magdalene.

The stem and base of the font date to 1883 (information provided in booklet). Of the three doorways, the N doorway appears to be the most recent, dating to c. 1200.
