[1][2] It was described in 1797 by Edward Hasted: "This church, to the credit of the patrons of it, who for a long succession of time have resided in the family seat almost adjoining to it, is remarkable for the neat and decent state in which it is kept.
It is paved with white and black marble, the pews are regularly wainscoted, the windows adorned with coloured glass, and the cieling ornamented with stucco...."[3] Sir John Peché (died 1521), owner of the manor of Lullingstone, was a knight banneret, Lord Deputy of Calais and Sheriff of Kent.
[3] The rood screen, made in the early 16th century, was the gift of Sir John.
A chest tomb in the north chapel commemorates their son Sir George Hart (died 1587) and his wife Elizabeth.
[1][2] In the 18th century, Percyvall Hart (died 1738) added an ornate plaster ceiling to the nave, the roof being heightened by thirteen courses of brick.
