The old closed churchyard is on the site of the original St Andrew’s Church, which was built in 1859, damaged by bombing in 1940 and then demolished – some of the Kent ragstone then being incorporated in the replacement church. Left behind is a wonderful area largely untouched where indigenous plants grow and wildlife thrives undisturbed. Lime trees border the main road, along with yews and many other species. On part of the remains of the wall lichen grows on the stonework.

Along with many interesting gravestone designs of the 1920s and 1930s, there are several war graves – including those from the Marines, Air Force, Artillery and an army driver. Dorothy Dickens, granddaughter of Charles, is buried here as well as victims of a high profile murder from years past.

Guides will be available to welcome visitors of all ages, who may wander at leisure (although younger children should be supervised by parents).
