The Church of St Mary Magdalene, Monkton Kent.
The Church of St Mary Magdalene, Monkton Kent.

The church of St Mary Magdalene was located within the Manor of Monkton which was given to Christ Church Priory, Canterbury in the late Anglo Saxon period. Two churches were documented in the Domesday Book of 1086 as being part of the Manor of Monkton, one of these probably stood on the site of the present church, which was constructed in the late 11th to early 12th century

In the late 14th or early 15th century major alterations were carried out to the church reducing it in size and adding new windows and roofs. These alterations may have been undertaken as a result of the reduction in population of the inhabitants of the area because of the Black Death.

The church has been upgraded again inside in 2017/19 adding a mezzanine floor at the west end but retaining the original altar and chancel at the east end.

It was a very dull november day!!


My thanks to all who visit and comment I do appreciate it.
