Church of All Saints, Grade I listed church in Capel, United Kingdom
The Church of All Saints is a medieval stone building with a square bell tower and a tiled roof covering the central nave and side aisles. The structure features timber-framed windows and a straightforward design typical of religious buildings from this period.
Construction started around 1450, making it one of the oldest religious buildings in the Kent region. The structure has survived and been maintained through the centuries as a lasting example of medieval church building.
The wooden pews and stone memorials inside show how people have gathered and remembered their dead here for generations. These objects tell the story of a community's faith and connection to the place.
The building is open during the week for visitors wanting to explore the interior and architecture at their own pace. Sunday services take place regularly, so plan a visit outside these times if you prefer to walk around undisturbed.
The bell tower contains three bells cast in different centuries, with the oldest made during King Henry VII's reign. These bells mark the long life of the building and show how it has continued to serve its community across generations.
