All Saints Church | Kent | Boughton Aluph

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 30th March, is Mothering Sunday, more popularly known as Mothers' Day thanks to the - mainly US - marketing nous of florists and greetings cards manufacturers! Here in Boughton Lees we celebrate with a service of Morning Prayer at St Christopher's on the Green, led by the wardens and starting at 09.30. Afterwards, coffee and biscuits (and a small posy for all mothers) in the Hardy Room. Do come and join us.
