Church of St Benedict
St Benedict's Church, is a redundant Anglican church in the village of Paddlesworth. It is designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building, Link
and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. The church stands on the Pilgrims' Way, about 1 mile west of Snodland.
The church dates from the early part of the 12th century, and was modified during the following century. It closed as a church in 1678, and was then used for some 250 years for non-religious purposes. It is located by a farm, and was used as a farm building. The church was restored in the early 20th century, and again later in the century.
St Benedict's is constructed in ragstone rubble, and has a tiled roof. Its plan is simple, consisting of two cells, a nave and a chancel. The windows and doors are round-headed. The interior is plain, and it contains a gallery added in the 19th century. Also in the nave is a cast iron candelabrum dating from the late 17th century.
