Brief description
"The Parish Church of Chelsfield, Kent, is dedicated to St.Martin of Tours. The earliest parts of the current church building were constructed in the 12th century. A tower and chapel were added in the 13th century, a porch in the 15th century, the current clergy vestry in the 19th century and the Brass Crosby Rooms in 2007.
The Parish includes the Mission Church of Well Hill, built in 1893 as one of the string of Mission Chapels for Hop Pickers in the Darenth Valley.
The church is part of the Benefice of Chelsfield with Green Street Green and Pratts Bottom."
