Description

St Martin's Church

It seems highly probable that St Martin's predates the arrival of St Augustine in 597. At that time Kent was ruled by King Ethelbert, who had married a Frankish princess Bertha. Bertha was already Christian, and when she came to Kent she brought her private chaplain. She worshipped in an existing Roman (Christian) church. From the description of that Roman church it seems likely that it was the building that is now St Martin's.
