Harrietsham Church

Harrietsham, like all the churches in the Benefice, part of the North Downs Deanery of the Diocese of Canterbury.  The church is named for St. John the Baptist. It has been described as "a noble church" and stands well away from the main road in a very large churchyard. The memorable feature is the second, or north, tower that stands behind the chancel.

The Friends of St John the Baptist’s Church is a charity dedicated to supporting the maintenance and enhancement of the church building, its fixtures and fittings and its surroundings. The Friends have no spiritual remit and exist solely to preserve and enhance one of the finest examples of church architecture in Kent.

If you are interested in supporting the Friends by becoming a member, please contact Joanna Pegg on (01622) 859518 or by email at Striding@aol.com
