Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, Selling

The church sits quietly at the heart of Selling village, a few miles south of Faversham. St Mary the Virgin is a proper medieval building - the kind of place where you can actually feel the centuries pressing down on you. The exterior is flint and stone, the sort of construction that's stood through all weathers without fussing about it. Inside, there's some genuinely good 14th-century work: the chancel arch is substantial, the windows tell their stories, and the whole space has that particular smell and light that only old churches manage.

It's the sort of spot that rewards walkers rather than day-trippers. If you're tramping around the Faversham area - and there's decent countryside roundabout - you might drop in for twenty minutes, not more. The church itself won't keep you for hours, but the village is gentle enough for a proper potter. History enthusiasts will recognise the Medieval craftsmanship, and if you're into quiet corners away from the coach-party routes, you've found one.

Access appears to be free, and there's no apparent booking system - these small village churches tend to be open during daylight hours, though you'd be wise to check locally before making a special journey. If you're based at Painters Farm Camping Site nearby, it's worth the short drive. The building sits comfortably within walking distance of the campsite if you fancy a morning stroll, and it pairs well with exploring the broader Kent countryside that makes the area worth visiting in the first place.
