The memorial to Thomas Austin on the east wall of the chancel, behind the altar, is thought to have been carved by Garret Christmas or his sons, John and Mathias, who were carvers and monumental masons at Chatham Dockyard.

In September 1940, the church tower was set on fire by incendiary bombs and considerable damage was done to the fabric of the tower, both inside and outside, before the fire brigade was able to bring hoses to bear.  Weather hastened deterioration of the building over the following years until, in 1951, the church had to be closed owing to the danger of collapse of the main tower and general disintegration of the exterior fabric. There is a memorial of the fire, designed by John Ward, on the north wall of the nave.  

Not until 1954 had sufficient funds been collected to enable the satisfactory repair of the vast tower. Essential repair work was still far from completed when a heavy attack by death-watch beetle was discovered in 1966.  Experts were called in and their recommendations carried out at some considerable cost.

Since the early 1990s, the restoration effort has been redoubled, with over £200,000 raised and spent on further repair and renovation work. This began with the re-plastering and painting of the walls and ceiling in the chancel.  The next task was the re-rendering of the south wall, repairs to the ceilings and roofs of both the north and south aisles and the opening up of the south porch to the interior of the church.  This now gives wheelchair access to the church from the south side.  The wooden floors in the nave have also been replaced.  French drains have been dug to take the roof water away from the north side of the church.

The organ in the north transept came from Brent Church, near Faversham, and was installed in 2003.

In the churchyard, surrounding the ancient yew tree, is the Millenium Seat – itself made from yew and oak, designed and made by Alun Heslop
