Summary Description

There is some evidence that St Clement’s was built on the site of a Saxon church. However, according to English Heritage, St Clement’s was built in the latter half of C12th with the Chancel added in the C13th. The church has been altered at various stages: St Margaret’s Chapel may also be C13th; the aisles were added in the C14th; the nave was rebuilt and the north porch was added in the C15th. St Clement’s was extensively restored and altered between 1865-70 by Joseph Clarke. The church has a Caen stone tower with a mixed wall construction comprising knapped and unknapped flint, ragstone, ironstone, Caen stone, pebbles, brick and tile; stone dressings. The roof is composed of Kent peg tiles.
