Britain's What's On Event Guide
St. John the Evangelist Church, Kingsdown
Heritage Open Day: Completed in 1850 and funded by William Curling who also built the local school. St John’s church was not the first place of worship to be built in the village. An old chapel, probably Wesleyan, dated from about 1800. The village of Kingsdown had begun to grow in the mid-19th century, and the new parish of St John the Evangelist was created out of the original parish of Ringwould. William and Elizabeth Curling, prominent landowners, who had already founded a local school (now the village hall) and built the parsonage, agreed to pay for a church which was finished in 1850.
The single cell church, designed by John Hay of Liverpool and built of local ragstone on a splendid site overlooking the sea, is one of East Kent's undiscovered gems.
