St Bartholomew's Church, Goodnestone

The church features a simple layout with a nave, north porch, and chancel, constructed using flint walls and topped with a tiled roof.

Built around 1150, the church underwent modifications in the 14th and 15th centuries, with the porch rebuilt in 1837 following earthquake damage.

The church contains medieval elements including a rood-loft staircase, two piscinae, and a tomb that served as an Easter Sepulchre during religious ceremonies.

Located 1.5 miles east of Faversham, the church remains open daily to visitors from 10 AM to 4 PM throughout the year.

The east window displays stained glass work by Thomas Willement, while the churchyard houses a Grade II listed chest tomb from the early 19th century.
