Stone-in-Oxney Church Church of St Mary the Virgin Church Hill, Stone-in-Oxney, Kent TN30 7JR

St Mary the Virgin Church at Stone-in-Oxney was rebuilt following a serious fire in 1464, and little of any earlier building survives. There is conjecture that St Mary’s stands on the site of a Roman Mithraic temple, although the earliest record of a church here is a document, held at the Dean and Chapter, Canterbury Cathedral, dated 1265. The first recorded vicar of the 13th century church is one Thomas de Maydenston who served from 1287
