List of places of worship in Sevenoaks District

The town of Sevenoaks, the administrative centre of the area, has many of these—from its ancient Anglican parish church to Victorian chapels and 20th-century meeting places for various Christian denominations.

Smaller towns such as Edenbridge, Swanley and Westerham are also well provided with places of worship; and the mostly rural district's villages and hamlets have many of their own, covering a wide variety of ages, architectural styles and denominations.

89 places of worship are in use in the district and a further 28 former churches and chapels no longer hold religious services but survive in alternative uses.

[citation needed] Census results show that Christianity is followed by a majority of the district's residents.

Roman Catholics and worshippers affiliated with various Protestant Nonconformist, Pentecostal and other Christian denominations are accommodated in a variety of mostly 19th- and 20th-century chapels and meeting rooms: Baptists, Methodists and the United Reformed Church each maintain several congregations, there are seven Roman Catholic churches, and smaller groups such as the Open Brethren, Christian Scientists and Jehovah's Witnesses can also be found in the district.

English Heritage has awarded listed status to 48 places of worship in the district of Sevenoaks.

[4] The district of Sevenoaks covers approximately 142 sq mi (370 km2) of mostly rural land in the far west of Kent.

For Nonconformists, a General Baptist chapel was erected in 1842, the original Wesleyan Methodist church opened in 1852, the large Congregational church at St John's Hill was finished in 1866 and Bible Christian and Baptist chapels were added in 1882 and 1886 respectively.

[14][15] The single exception is St Mary Magdalene's Church at Cowden, which is part of the Diocese of Chichester.

The Westerham Evangelical Congregational Church, while not formally a Baptist place of worship, also maintains links with this network.
