St Clements Church, Knowlton

 St Clement Church - Knowlton 

                                           Date: october 
                                           Location: kent 
                                           Abandoned or Public : public 
                                          Delmoished: No


 This was our  last exploration of the day and a very quick one, once we parked up we walked around the church and went in, it was a very small  church, but it was very beautiful inside, Once inside we looked around, as we were leaving the church I we did notice that you can turn the lights on in this church ( what make it funnier is that there a sign ) 



It said that st clement church is a beautiful redundant church, that it is grade 1 listed, and back dates to Anglican times,  It said it was originally from the 14 or 15th century, and it said that the st clement church was oringal a private chapel, it also noted that in 1855 the church was restored.

In 1991 the church was taken over by the church's conservation trust.

 I knew about this church for a while but for some reason just never visited it , so out the blue as we had some free time we though we head over to cooling witch is about 10 min drive not even that and check out the church , to start off with was a little confused why there was camping chairs and beds in there but it turns out you can do something called champing ( will try this out out one day ) , the church it self it laid out pretty much any other way as any other disused church , but still pretty .


So it said that St James church in cooling is an old redundant Anglican church , it is said that the church back dates to around 13th century , and in 1976 it was declared redundant  and handed over to CCT iN 1978.

on our way down to Tunbridge Wells we stopped off at this redundant church in east peckham as it was on our way down, the church was a little bit bigger than expected too, in the past we have driven past it but always thought it was a very active church ( turns out was wrong ), inside of the church was very pretty, the stain glass windows was my favorite bit, if your driving past defo go and have a look.


So it said thatit used to be an Anglican church before being made redundant in 1973,  the church backdates to around the 12th century with things been added in over the years,  in 1959 the church was glassed as grate 2 listed.
