Perhaps you don’t go to church very often, but just suppose that the church wasn’t there to go to. Would you mind if St Peter & St Paul’s church – your church – the church at the heart of this community couldn’t afford to remain open? Whilst the church has stood for over 1000 years, the cost of maintaining this beautiful ancient building is enormous and an ongoing responsibility. If we are to preserve the building for future generations of Swanscombe residents,

WE WILL NEED YOUR HELP!

St Peter & St Paul’s is a grade 1 listed church with parts of the building dating back to the Saxon & Norman periods with much of the rest of the building being built during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Many features of historic interest have survived over the years including our recently restored Norman Font, which is one of the few surviving chalk tub fonts from this time.

However, as with all historic buildings, it needs constant upkeep and maintenance. Over time, larger and more costly repairs become necessary.

Are you able to help?
