St Mary's Church, Medieval parish church in Lenham, England
The church building features a three-stage tower with buttressed corners, constructed with local rag-stone and flint walls topped by a plain-tiled pitched roof.
Founded in 1101, St Mary's Church underwent multiple architectural developments between the 12th and 15th centuries, including significant additions to the nave and chancel.
The interior contains a 13th-century piscina, a medieval octagonal font, and wall paintings, including a depiction of St Michael from approximately 1350.
Morning prayers take place every Wednesday at 9:30 a.m., while the first Wednesday of each month features a communion service at St Mary's Church.
The church graveyard contains an unused gravestone for Doctor Who actor Tom Baker, inscribed with 'Tom Baker 1934-'.
