St Giles, Wormshill

The exterior walls of St Giles Church display a combination of flint construction with stone dressings that span different architectural periods throughout its existence.

The nave construction dates to the early 11th century, with a distinct Anglo-Saxon double-splayed window in the south wall discovered during 1879 restoration work.

The interior features medieval glass in the east window depicting the Coronation of the Virgin, accompanied by angels and traditional religious imagery.

The church maintains its role as an Anglican place of worship under the Diocese of Canterbury and belongs to the united benefice of Tunstall with Bredgar.

The church contains a rare thirteenth-century chest with incised decorations and houses an eighteenth-century organ among its historical artifacts.
