The hamlet of Chillenden in East Kent, UK, lies midway between the historic cathedral city of Canterbury and the gateway port of Dover. It lies in the rural landscape on the edge of the North Downs, surrounded by some wonderful English countryside. It has a population of about 100 people living in 45 houses. There is a church, a working farm, a village hall, a pond, a brilliant pub, and a windmill.

We would normally have a service on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of every month, alternating with the services at Holy Cross in Goodnestone.  When we get back to 'normal' our services will be held at 9am.  We follow the Book of Common Prayer for our liturgy.
