St Peter & St Paul, Luddesdowne
St Peter and St Paul is the small and ancient church of the tiny downland parish of Luddesdowne in North West Kent. The church is situated alongside a late Norman house and adjoining farm and is surrounded by old trees at the head of two long, raking valleys.
Following the church reforms of Henry III, many noblemen built small churches within the boundaries of their own manors and this probably happened in Luddesdowne, where the earliest verifiable fabric, seen in the north and west walls, dates from the thirteenth century.
Despite some restoration following the collapse of the nave roof in 1865, many of the Church's medieval features remain. But it is St Peter and St Paul's rare 19th Century wall paintings, described as a particularly fine example of Victorian church art, that most visitors come to see, especially ‘Pentecost' and ‘The Donation of the Keys'.
