Church of St Mary the Virgin, Thurnham Lane, Thurnham - Maidstone

Church of C12 to early C17. North chapel of galleted stone, porches of small uneven blocks of stone, rest random flint and stone. Plain tile roofs. West tower, continuous nave and chancel with opposed north and south porches at the west end. Rectangular north chapel towards east end of nave. Roofs over nave, chancel and chapel require replacement and east wall of the chancel is in a poor state; all contributing factors to the building's risk.
