We are told that the church, which stood on the important trade route to Dover, was a place at which important visitors were greeted, and it was here that the the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of the City of London came to greet Henry V on his return from Agincourt.
Though the current church did suffer some damage during the Second World War, it is still a faithful restoration of the design by John Price, consecrated in 1736, and is also notable for its Italianate ceiling, designed in 1897 by Basil Champneys.
