Brenchley Church is dedicated to All Saints. Hidden behind an avenue of yew trees, it is a large, magnificent church. Originally a Chapel-of-Rest to Yalding, it was built in the 12th and 13th centuries, confirmed as an independent parochial church in 1227, a porch was added and the nave re-roofed in the 14th century, the chancel rebuilt in 1814, a major restoration carried out in 1849 and a clock and chimes installed in the tower in 1883. Inside it is light and airy with some beautiful stained glass. The churchyard is also worth having a look at as there are many ornate gravestones and one Commonwealt War Grave. This is also slightly unusual in that it is the grave of a Sergeant Carr of the Pioneer Corps who died on 2 November 1947.

Parish Church, Church of England, Diocese of Rochester. Opened 1887. Daily mass and Sunday Parish mass for families, Sunday School and refreshments at 10am every Sunday. Linked to the local Church of England primary school - St Barnabas School. A surprisingly beautiful interior well worth a visit.

I visited this church by arrangement with the Vicar for the purposes of photographing the interior of the church. As with the vast majority of Vicars he was very happy to allow me to do this. Entrance is of course free, but I am sure donations are welcome. The church is normally open on a daily basis for visitors and is stewarded by very helpful volunteers. The church has a very interesting history as well many visual items. It is situated a short walk (approx 5-6 minutes) from the Railway Station and at the entrance of The Pantiles.
