Our services follow the range of services in Common Worship on different Sundays and also a 6.30 pm BCP evensong on the 1st Sunday of the moth. The building is a 12th century grade 1 listed church in cruciform shape. On the site of an early Saxon church said to be fouded by the Monks of St Augusine's Abbey, Canterbury. Ring of 6 bells. FH Browne 2-manual organ. Fine memorial to Sir Edwin Sandys (1561-1629) Treasurer of the Virginia Company. Churchyard still open. Fine yew trees and holm oaks, but sadly the 'famous' wide-span holm oak was cleared after it split in a storm in Nov 2016. Fine views of Goodwin Sands from church tower which can be accessed by arrangement. The church is usually open daily from 11.00 am until 17.00 or dusk. On Sundays from 9.15.
