Lamberhurst parish church is a Grade: I listed building, dedicated to Saint Mary the Blessed Virgin. The Normans built the church in the late 12th century, although extended and rebuilt it in the late 13th and early 14th centuries. In 1779, Pack and Chapman cast and hung a ring of six bells. In 1798, Edward Hasted described St Mary’s church as having a ‘spire steeple, stands on a hill at a small distance from the court-lodge’. Around 1870, the architect Ewan Christian carried out a restoration to the chancel removing the earlier fittings and reconstructing the roof in 1870
