There were two Church of England churches in Hawkhurst - St Laurence in the old village at The Moor which is about a mile south of the former Victorian church of All Saints at Highgate which is the modern village grown up along the A268. This is currently abandoned but planning permission has been given to convert it into flats. St Laurence is entirely Perpendicular in appearance but has much earlier work. It was also restored in the mid-19th century and the windows were renewed in the 1950s. There are a number of attractive houses around the churchyard.
