King Charles the Martyr, Tunbridge Wells

King Charles the Martyr, Tunbridge Wells

I was able to visit the very pleasant town of Tunbridge Wells. This church sits right by the side of the road through the town and is open each day. It is well worth a visit too. The church is stewarded and these were friendly and knowledgeable. There are some multi lingual laminated sheets to guide the visitor and various guide books, mugs and local history booklets for sale as well. There were lots of visitors in the book but I didn’t count them. The stewards told me that they get a lot of visitors and many locals just come in to sit quietly – what a church is for really!

There is a nice prayer and contemplation area to use. This is an unusual and interesting church with a fascinating history. The website is at http://www.kcmtw.org and this is very clear on visitors.
