Churches in Stone Parish

St Mary the Virgin

Church Road Stone Dartford
(01322) 382076
http://www.stmarystone.org

A visit to 12th Century St Mary's has led many people to describe their experience as having found a hidden treasure. The church is listed as one of the finest in Kent and yet it has a rather uninspiring exterior. St Mary's is, however, a reflection of the ages through which it has stood and features in the recently published 'The English Church. England's 100 finest churches' by Tim Tatton-Browne and John Crook.
Much more information about both the history of St Mary's and life in 21st century St Mary's can be found on our website https://www.stmarystone.org/
