[1] St Margaret's Church is set in a farmyard, some distance from Horsmonden.

During the 18th century the roof was covered in wooden shingles.

Henry de Grofhurst, rector from 1311 until his death in 1361, was mostly responsible for building St Margaret's Church.

[6] He is memorialised in a monumental brass in the centre of the chancel.

[1][4][6][5] On the south wall is a memorial bust to the 19th century inventor, John Read, responsible for the round oast-house, the stomach pump and a tobacco enema.
