There has been a church in Blundeston village, which Charles Dickens used as the scene for the opening chapters of David Copperfield since St Fursey, an Irish Missionary, first preached Christianity in these parts in the 7th century. Nothing remains of the original church but in c988 the present flint tower was constructed and about a century later a stone church was built on to the tower.

St Mary's church, Witney, is a magnificent building set in beautiful and historic surroundings and rising majestically above the centre of the town.

St Mary's Ewelme is an exceptional church with a distinguished history. The present building has not changed greatly for almost 600 years, having been reordered in 1437. It is a rare opportunity to see a place of worship with strong echoes stretching back over 100 years before the Reformation. Many people come to see the tomb of Alice de la Pole, Geoffrey Chaucer's granddaughter.

St Mary's has occupied this site for over 900 years, although we are uncertain of the date of consecration. Originally built as a chapel of ease to the Priory (now Cathedral), the Norman pillar and grant from the Town Council in the 12th century for the offering of Mass, testify to its early foundation.

The Chantry Chapel of St Mary the Virgin was built in the mid 14th century when the stone bridge replaced a wooden one. The original stonework can be seen at the base, although the upper part, including the west front, was rebuilt in 1847-8.

St Mary's church has a fascinating history. We know from the Domesday Book that Linton was an important Saxon settlement with a royal manor. Pre conquest, this area had converted to Christianity in the 6th century but it also nestled on a turbulent Welsh border. Indeed, the imposing church tower was added as part of Edward III's border defences. Today, our church reflects a Victorian renovation but it is a complex building rewarding visitors with the unexpected.

Holy Island, or Lindisfarne, is the site of a monastery founded by St Aidan in 635 AD. It marks the establishment of Christianity in the northeast and is still a centre of pilgrimage today.

The present St Mary's was opened in 1895, but a medieval stone and tile in the porch are clues to the parish's much longer story. Cuddington is believed to mean ‘Cuda's farm'. Cuda was perhaps an Anglo-Saxon who founded a settlement in today's Nonsuch Park. The first church was built of wood, before the Norman Conquest. It was replaced with a stone church around 1100, rebuilt around 1250; this medieval church stood until 1538.

Though very close to Tunbridge Wells, Speldhurst has a pleasing village like feel and the Victorian gothic church fits in well.

Built of local ironstone, St Mary's dates almost entirely from the 14th century, with the nave and chancel from the beginning of the century and the tower and spire from about 50 years later. The result is a very pleasing and harmonious whole.
