St. Mildred's is a medieval church whose tower dominates the market town of Tenterden, Kent, England, with its wide tree-lined street. Our worship is of both ancient and modern types and our worshippers embrace a wide range of Christian custom. Our usual Sunday morning services are an early spoken communion of traditional-language type with a later sung communion using contemporary language. On the first Sunday of each month the latter is replaced by a Family Service intended to embrace all who love the Lord, of whatever individual age or circumstance. On that first Sunday the evening service is a sung communion, with the other Sunday evenings as outlined below.
9.30 am Holy Communion - Sung (Family Service on First Sunday)
6.00pm 1. Holy Communion
with Prayers for Healing on First Sunday
2. Informal service - "Create Space"
3. Choral Evensong (usually) on Third Sunday
4. No service on Fourth Sunday
5. No service on Fifth Sunday
(Special Sunday evening services as announced)

St. Mildred's is one of the great town churches of Kent, a county where many rural churches are small and with low towers and spires. The church of this prosperous medieval town (a limb of the Cinque Ports Confederation) had its lofty and conspicuous tower added in the fifteenth century, though our oldest bell is a century older than that.
We have an important association with Lord Nelson, whose daughter Horatia was married to Vicar Philip Ward in the early ninteeenth century.
