The ancient Church on the Green with fine examples of architecture and stained glass.

Christ Church is set on the brow of a hill, in the centre of the parish, but on the edge of the village, surrounded by the old and new well kept churchyard and by farmland.

This pleasing little medieval church is much visited, standing as it does in a key position overlooking the 18th century picturesque landscape of Stourhead, now a very popular National Trust estate.

This is a priory church, presented soon after 1100 to the Benedictine Abbey of Lonlay, near Falaise in Normandy, but later reclaimed by Henry V. It was later given to Eton College by Henry VI.

In 1811 the newly erected church could somehow seat 256 people plus 94 other and had a capacity congregation each Sunday.

The church is situated at the foot of Old Sarum.

In medieval days the parish of Godstone stretched for eleven miles along the Roman Road from Marden Park in the north to Felbridge in the south, at no point was it more than two miles wide.

Built on a prominent hillside at the heart of the village that was created at the same time, St Mary's was designed, built and given to the parish by the eminent Victorian architect, George Edmund Street, in memory of his second wife. It was consecrated in 1879.

The ancient church was built nearly one thousand years ago and, together with its historic graveyards, provides a unique home for the key moments and memories of our town.

A friendly welcoming church set in the centre of Chatham.
