St Nicholas Church, Pluckley is a beautiful church outside as well as inside and well worth a visit. Although the oldest part of the church is its 13th century tower and the western part of the north wall of the nave, a church was recorded as being on this site in 1090. Of special interest inside is the Dering Family Chapel (a time capsule of history in itself when you read the memorials). Of special interest outside is the Dering Family Vault, the Commonwealth War Grave of Private Edward Lewis Pile of the Northumberland Fusiliers who died on 27 April 1921 and the grave of Charles Alfred Ashdown who was 18 years old when he died on 15 April 1940. Charles Ashdown was a booking clerk and he died when a fighter piloted by a Belgian airman flying for the Royal Air Force crashed on the station during the Battle of Britain.

Wye is a very smart church and this is a very smart and airy church. In 1686 the tower fell and destroyed the chancel after which a Wren inspired chancel was built to replace it. In the last war the church was bombed and the west window was lost. The current colourful and huge west window which depicts local scenes was unveiled in 1948. The pews were removed last year and in the porch are three war memorial. The result is an airy and spacious village church. It is most certainly a visit.
