Welcome to All Saints’ Church Staplehurst
All Saints’ Church Staplehurst Kent, stands in the centre of the village atop the hill.
The Church is at the village’s south end, just a short walk off the A229, a Roman road that forms the main high street. It dates from the early part of the last Millennium; the south door has been dated to around 1050 and displays some very fine early ironwork.
It is believed that the church was built around 1100. It served the farms which evolved from dens or pasture land used by herdsmen from the area around Maidstone and is said to be older than the village.
The Anglo-Saxon charters mention specific dens Spilsill and Aydhurst, while the name Staplehurst was first recorded in 1226.
