St Giles Church
Stumble Hill, Shipbourne, Kent TN11 9PF - England, UK

Map
Built in 1880 by local landowner, Edward Cazalet, this pretty stone church is renowned locally for its ghostly inhabitant, said to be Sir Henry Vane, former resident of the Fairlawne Estate and Secretary of State to Charles I. Sir Henry was executed as a result of switching from Cavalier to Roundhead and back again during the English Civil War and his noticeably shorter stone coffin, alleged to be the result of his beheading, can be found in the crypt of St Giles.
