St Mary Church,
Eastling, lies south east of the main street in the centre of Eastling village, about 300 metres down Kettle Hill Road.
The Church is set back from the road and is surrounded by mature yew trees (one of which is over 2000 years old) with only the spire visible above the trees.
Parts of the Church date from the 11th century (the base of the tower), the Nave is from the 12th century, Chancel 13th and the Sanctuary and St Katherine Chapel from the 14th century.
In 1855 R.C.Hussey substantially rebuilt the Nave, North Aisle and South Arcade, and completely re-roofed the Nave (unfortunately destroying many medieval features).
St Mary, Eastling is part of the Benefice of Eastling and Stalisfield with Otterden.
The Priest-in-Charge for the Benefice Revd. Caroline Pinchbeck lives in the Rectory at Eastling.
