Hiking

Saint Mary The Virgin in Kemsing is a Grade II listed building and it is thought that some of the stones in the south wall date from 1060. There is a tradition that the church is haunted by a knight. The following description of the haunting is extracted from an article in the Kent and Sussex Courier entitled ‘The ghastly ghouls rumoured to haunt our sleepy district’ - ‘in Kemsing, a devout knight in shining armour is known to clank silently into St Mary’s Church, kneel down to pray at the altar for a moment, then vanish for another year
