Holy Trinity Church

Holy Trinity Church is a striking Grade II* listed building dating from 1868. It houses some interesting Victorian features and exceptional stained-glass windows, including six vivid modern windows in the south porch depicting the Creation. The church is a popular wedding and concert venue with an outstanding choir. Its three-manual Walker organ was restored in 2016 and is one of the finest parish church organs in the south-east.

Reviewed By 309lindaa - Kent, United Kingdom

This church is beautiful. It was built just after the first world war to replace the original Holy Trinity which was bombed during the great war. Only the clock tower remains of the original in the gardens near the town. This church is a fair size and is used by some of the local schools.
