Although the church was heavily restored in the 19th century and again in 1902 after a fire, there are earlier parts, including the base of the tower which is Saxon and includes Roman tiles, and sections of the chancel and nave which are Norman. Many of the furnishings of the former All Saints Church at Galley Hill Swanscombe are now to be found here - see https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7238438
