Until the 19th Century, this striking building was the largest parish church in Kent. The present chancel dates back to the early 12th Century and in Norman times comprised the entire church. Other items of interest include the remains of the 13th Century water stoup, used by parishioners to dip their fingers in holy water before making the sign of the cross, and the piscina, a series of basins used by the priest to wash his hands before celebrating Mass – both of these were partially destroyed during the Reformation.
