The walls of the church are Norman and the carved west doorway dates from about 1100 AD.

St Mary's Church at Luddenham is located in a remote position at the end of a long winding lane which is quite rough in places. It is found among the farm buildings of Luddenham Court. Luddenham has never had a village as a nucleus. The population has never been large. St Mary's was declared redundant in 1972 and the parish is now served by churches at Oare and Davington. The church is in the care of The Churches Conservation Trust. The west doorway in the tower dates from the mid 12th century. There was a north tower which collapsed in 1807, bringing down part of the chancel and nave. A west tower was then built instead. The church was very much neglected by the second half of the 19th century when it was heavily restored. The south porch dates from 1889.

A quiet and rather sad, cobwebby interior of the ancient church that no longer has a congregation.
