Holy Trinity
Charing Heath’s ethos is summed up in their mission statement
“Bringing people to Jesus through our open doors”. Although a small community, we offer a warm welcome and generous hospitality. We welcome you exactly as you are, as often as you want.
The ecclesiastical parish of Holy Trinity, Charing Heath was created in 1874 to serve the villages of Charing Heath & Lenham Heath. The small church of Victorian build provides a beautiful setting for worship. Gifts of money and land from the Sayer family of Pett Place, Charing, enabled the building of the church and the school. The school closed in the 1960s and was sold as a private residence. The Village Society organises various social events throughout the year, mainly in the Memorial Hall. It is hard to imagine a more beautiful setting for the annual village fete and flower show.
