St. Mildred's is a medieval church whose tower dominates the market town
of Tenterden, Kent, England, with its wide tree-lined street. Our
worship is of both ancient and modern types and our worshippers embrace a wide
range of Christian custom. Our usual Sunday morning services are an early
spoken communion of traditional-language type with a later sung communion using
contemporary language. On the first Sunday of each month the latter is replaced
by a Family Service intended to embrace all who love the Lord, of whatever
individual age or circumstance. On that first Sunday the evening service is a
sung communion, with the other Sunday evenings as outlined below.

St. Mildred's
is one of the great town churches of Kent, a county where many rural churches
are small and with low towers and spires. The church of this prosperous
medieval town (a limb of the Cinque Ports Confederation) had its lofty and
conspicuous tower added in the fifteenth century, though our oldest bell is a
century older than that.
We have an important association with Lord
Nelson, whose daughter Horatia was married to
Vicar Philip Ward in the early nineteenth century.

of the family of JANE AUSTEN

Thank you for your visit.
Go in Peace!
we praise you for the life and
example of our patron,
Mildred of Thanet,
who preached the Christian faith in
pagan times;
and we pray that, as the radiance of
your love was seen in her faith,
her devotion, and her good works,
so we, in this unbelieving
generation, may show forth practical love,
generous compassion, and joyful
faith.
We ask this for your name's sake.
Amen.
