All Saints Church and
St Christopher's Church
​
Boughton Aluph, Kent
Lambeth Palace, London SE1, October 1952
"No-one driving along the road from Chilham to Ashford can fail to observe the massive tower of Boughton Aluph church standing as its eminence to the right of the road. The church has a most impressive exterior and a noble interior. It is a special treasure among all the lovely churches of Kent."
Geoffrey Cantuar
The introduction from a letter written by the then Archbishop of Canterbury (Geoffrey Fisher) in October 1952 in support of the appeal to raise funds to save this beautiful but war-damaged church from collapse.
WHAT'S ON?​​
​​
Next Sunday 25th May we continue at All Saints' church with a service of Holy Communion led by Rev'd Linda Cross, starting at 09.30. Afterwards, coffee and biscuits as usual and an opportunity to catch up on details for a pretty packed summer "season". Hope to see you there.
​
And the next day we welcome 113 pilgrims from St Martin-in-the-Fields who are walking from Trafalgar Square and stop at All Saints for sandwiches (and to warm - even dry - themselves by the fire in the porch) on their way to Canterbury. If you can make a few sandwiches (no cakes, please; they get them later) it would be much appreciated. Contact Rita Hawes (01233 627117) for more info. They arrive around 10.00 and stay for 30-45 minutes before heading off to Chilham and Chartham. All help, eg serving tea or stoking the fire, very welcome.
