St Benedict's Church, Paddlesworth

St Benedict's Church features ragstone rubble construction, a tiled roof, and contains two main sections consisting of a nave and chancel with round-headed windows.

The church was constructed in the early 12th century, then ceased religious activities in 1678 and transformed into a farm building for approximately 250 years.

The church stands along the Pilgrims' Way, serving as a marker for travelers heading toward the Medway crossing through the Kent countryside.

Located one mile west of Snodland off the A228 road, the church remains open daily from 10 AM to 4 PM for visitors to explore.

The interior maintains its medieval corbels and includes a 19th-century gallery alongside a cast iron candelabrum from the late 17th century.
