All Souls is a small but beautiful Victorian parish church located at the heart of the Kent village of Crockenhill. We meet every Sunday morning to worship God in Word and Sacrament in a relaxed and friendly style, making the most of the Church of England's thoughtful liturgy and singing mainly traditional hymns. You're very welcome to join us, whether you're visiting or looking to become part of the regular church family.
We are gradually returning to our regular community activities during the week, and trying hard to get this information up to date.
