From the oldest church in England to tiny manorial churches hidden away in sequestered churchyards, this book explores the diverse range of architectural styles and building materials used throughout Kent's history. Kent's unique blend of proximity to London and the Continent has influenced its churches, with many displaying links to notable figures such as Archbishop Thomas Becket, Anne Boleyn, Charles Dickens, and Winston Churchill. The book delves into the history of church building campaigns during the medieval period, as well as later examples where individuals have beautified churches to reflect their social status. This book provides a unique insight into Kent's history, showcasing the county's diverse architectural heritage and its connections to national events and figures.
