Charlton Church, Dover
Charlton Church was initially a small church whose early references were found in a manuscript referring to Saint P. Charlton. In the nineteenth century, a new church was built, one that was bigger than that with the same name. A stone in the altar reminds us of the previous church that was destroyed. The new church appeared in 1893. During the Second World War, it was seriously destroyed because of a nave that split the walls. The church underwent serious repairs after that, supported by the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1952.
