Mary Alcock's mother was the daughter of classicist Richard Bentley, and her brother was Richard Cumberland, poet, novelist and dramatist. Alcock probably took some part in her brother's literary life and may have known his friends Garrick, Reynolds, Goldsmith, Foote and Sheridan. She married Archdeacon Alcock and after his death moved to Bath where she was a member of the Batheaston circle of Lady Anna Miller. She was an active philanthropist, but was hampered by a weak constitution. The Air Balloon was the only work published in her lifetime; a posthumous collection, Poems (edited by Joanna Hughes) was published in 1799, a year after she died.
