Off Church Lane, a church on this site was first built in the late 12th century. By the 1840s, the church was in a poor condition and a new St. Alphege's church was built in Whitstable. The nave of the Medieval church was pulled down and the chancel made into a burial chapel. The new building was consecrated in 1845. St Alphege, the Saxon archbishop, is especially associated with Kent. He was murdered by Danes at Greenwich and brought to Canterbury Cathedral in 1023.
