History
The parish church of SS Peter and Paul Bilsington in the diocese of Canterbury dates from around the second half of the 13th century when the Priory of St Augustine probably impropriated it. The Priory can be seen NE of the church,3/4 of a mile away. The Priory was surrendered to the crown in 1535.
Inside the church the Nave has four windows which are 14th century in style and there are some original fragments of glass present. There is a blocked Norman window and at the SE end of this wall there is more evidence of filling in. At floor level there is evidence of a doorway and above it an opening which may have given access to the rood loft.
Above the chancel arch hangs the Royal arms of George the 111, dated 1774. Near the south-east door there is a hatchment of Lord Justice Luxmoor who lived at the Priory.
In 1883 there were considerable alterations to the fabric, the existing pulpit (probably Georgian) was moved from the north side to the south side of the chancel arch, the box pews were replaced and the west gallery was removed. This probably housed an organ, violins and a choir.
Above the door into the tower is a stone bearing a carving which may well be the oldest surviving work in the church dating from about the 12th century.
