Location

Boxley, Detling and Thurnham churches are in a straight line. It is thought that they are standing on the old Roman road which came from Rochester. The pathway that leads to the churchyard may indicate where the Roman road was sited.
There is no evidence of a church existing at Boxley in Saxon times or before 1100 A.D. During restoration work on the church in 1857, an urn was found, thought to be Romano-British, which was considered to be thirteenth century, same date as parts of the main building. Boxley, Detling and Thurnham churches are in a straight line.
