St. Martin's

St Martin’s is the Church of England church in Aldington and one of the churches in the Saxon Shoreline Benefice. It is set outside the current village of Aldington as the original village site had to be abandoned due to the Plague. The church is surrounded by farmland.

"The churches of the Benefice of the Saxon Shoreline are committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. Our large benefice comprises of the churches in the villages of Aldington, Bilsington, Bonnington, Hamstreet, Kenardington, Orlestone, Snave, Ruckinge and Warehorne.

We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies, and we have our own Benefice Safeguarding Officer (BSO), Mrs Pauline Williams, who can be contacted on 07907 676829 for Safeguarding enquiries and assistance. A confidential email address for disclosures and concerns is set up for those purposes only, at [email protected]. This is not an address for general enquiries.

This is a small, rural church with a big heart and everyone is welcome to any of our services and events. We hold a service every Sunday morning, apart from a 5th Sunday when we join together with all the other churches in the Benefice. On that Sunday we travel to whichever church is hosting the service that month. A service of Holy Communion is held on the 1st Sunday at 10.30am and the 4th Sunday at 10.30am. A non-Communion service, led by a church member, takes place at 10.30am on the 2nd and 3rd Sundays and we regularly hold informal, family-based services when breakfast is served at 10am, followed by a short service and a children's activity. Saturday Coffee Mornings take place weekly April - September and a pre-Christmas 'Warm Up' with soup and puddings, crafts and cards, are a great way to meet friends old and new.
