The tower

The tower, made of flint, rubble and Kentish Ragstone, was a later addition to the medieval nave and chancel. Built between 1471 and 1512 it was funded by bequests from members of the congregation.
A detailed account of its bells can be found by clicking here.

The Vicarage

The old Vicarage in Ladywell Road was built in 1692 by Rev. George Stanhope, later the Dean of Canterbury. Re-named Ladywell House the Vicarage is now used as offices for the local health authority.
