The beautiful church of St. Mary and All Saints lies adjoining the "village green" in the centre of Boxley village, with the North Downs as a backdrop and the surrounding grassed graveyard lending tranquility to its aspect. The Church community extends a warm welcome to all and this is reflected by their decision to keep the Church open everyday so that weary travellers, who are making their way along either the Pilgrims Way and North Downs Way that run close by the Church, can use the facilities and help themselves to a warming cuppa!! From 28 October the church will be open from 10am - 3pm.
Our programme of services comprise of a mixture of the traditional and the less formal family services. (Please check the Services Tab for more details). Sunday services are "announced" in the traditional manner by our Bell ringers and if you fancy a go, please contact Doug Davies at: This email address is being protected from spambots.

As well as regular Anglican services taking place at Boxley Church, it is also where the Greek Orthodox Community of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary, Maidstone and District, holds its services and more details can be found at: http://www.greeksinkent.co.uk/
As for our history, St. Mary's has now been a sanctuary of peace and worship for 9 centuries. Victorian pews fill the nave and sunlight passing through its many stained glass windows add their colourful patterns to the acts of worship. Visitors to the Church will also see evidence of Boxley village's rich history from the many memorial plaques on the walls. Can you spot the famous poet's sister's memorial?
