Background
History
The first church on the site was probably Anglo-Saxon. The oldest part of the current fabric is the west end of the nave which dates from the 11th or early 12th century. The aisle had been added by the 13th century when the tower and chancel chapel were added. During the medieval period the church was a chapel to Westerham.
Architecture
The building is of sandstone from the Tunbridge Wells Sand Formation. The bells and frame was cast and installed by Gillett & Johnston in 1911. The interior includes a stained glass window of the crucifixion by Sir Edward Burne-Jones in the east wall. It was crafted by Morris & Co. and originally intended for Holy Trinity Church in nearby Crockham Hill but installed in Edenbridge in 1909. The font is from the 13th century, with the cover being added in the 14th or 15th, and there is a 14th-century piscina. The entrance to the churchyard has a lychgate.
