The church of St Vincent of Saragossa dates from the 13th century and is thought to have been founded by the monks of St Augustine's Abbey in Canterbury. Inside the church is an ancient wall painting depicting Saint Christopher, patron saint of travellers. The church also has what is reckoned to be one of the finest collections of stained glass windows in the country designed by Nathaniel Westlake, the leading designer of the Gothic Revival movement in England.
