Grade I listed medieval Anglican church dating back to the 12th century, although the main 39.6m tower was built in 1461 when Tenterden was at its height of the wool trade (the tower is constructed from Bethersden Marble, a limestone that contains thousands of brightly coloured shells).
The church is dedicated to the prominent Anglo-Saxon saint, Saint Mildred, who was a 7th-century princess serving as the abbess of the nunnery at Minister-in-Thanet. The grounds include a graveyard and benches for quiet contemplation.
