There are 24 current and former places of Christian worship on the linear route of the Royal Saxon Way. As well as 16 parish churches, there is the redundant church at West Stourmouth, the former military church and chapel at Shorncliffe Camp, the ruined chapel at Well near Littlebourne, and the abbey site at Minster, now occupied by St Mildred’s Priory. In Lyminge there is the current Methodist Church and a former Methodist Chapel converted into houses. We have also included the parish church at Ickham, which is not on the main route, but provides a pleasant diversion on the way between Littlebourne and Wickhambreaux. Finally, if you walk the Folkestone-Lyminge loop, you will encounter the highest church in Kent: the tiny, ancient church at Paddlesworth. The unusual dedication suggests a connection to Northumbria that could indicate it was founded as early as the 7th Century, although the current structure is only around 1,000 years old.
