St Mary's Parish Church of Kenardington, dedicated to St Mary the Virgin, was first built by the Saxons in the 10th Century, attacked by the Danes in 1070, rebuilt in stone by the Normans in the 12th Century, sacked by the French during the Hundred Years War in the 14th Century and struck by lightning in 1559 heavily damaging the structure and collapsing the Nave, Chancel and North Aisle.
Edward Hasted described this Church in 1798 as a "small mean building, consisting of one isle and one chancel, having a small pointed turret at the west end, in which hangs one bell. There are no inscriptions in it. The font in this church is remarkably mean, being composed of brick and tile only."
St Mary's Church has survived to the present day, much the same as it was some 500 years ago and until recently was under threat of closure, but fortunately plans were approved for an addition to run the length of the north wall of the church, as well as for a new Nave. That work was begun in late 2013 and is now complete. This Grade II listed church lies 8 miles SSW of Ashford
