This beautiful little church is open to the public and is tucked away in a small town called Smeeth. There are several other churches to visit in the area. My daughter and I spent some time there taking photos and exploring. She was full of questions, which was lovely to see.

It is noted that this charming church is one of six churches in the "Stour Down Parish." The church was built using flint sourced from a local quarry, and its origins date back to Norman times. A chapel was added in the 13th century, and the porch was constructed in the 15th century. The church tower was restored in 1881.

Location: Faversham 

Public or abandoned: Public 

Delmoished: No 

One Sunday afternoon, we decided to visit a stunning redundant church in Faversham. The church was situated in a very secluded area, so we parked the car and walked to the entrance. After signing the visitor book, we explored the interior. As there was no electricity, the church became quite eerie when the sun disappeared behind clouds. We spent approximately 40 minutes in the church, taking pictures and admiring its beauty. 

According to the information provided, the church is an old Anglican church that is no longer in use. However, it is still considered a beautiful building and has been given a grade 1 listing. The church is currently owned by CCT, who acquired it in 2002. It was originally built in the 12th century and underwent restoration work between 1981 and 1984.,
