St. Peter and St. Paul, Salt­wood and St. Stephen Lympne are two sep­a­rate Church of Eng­land parishes in the Dio­cese of Can­ter­bury under the care of the same Priest-in-Charge. There is also a Chapel of Ease at Pedlinge. Whilst retain­ing our own iden­ti­ties, we share some activ­i­ties together. Many of those who wor­ship here live locally but we offer a warm wel­come to all vis­i­tors, includ­ing chil­dren, and there are refresh­ments after our main morn­ing ser­vices at both churches. At Lympne we have many cou­ples who wor­ship with us to estab­lish a qual­i­fy­ing con­nec­tion for mar­riage (see the wed­dings pages).

In order to pro­vide bet­ter infor­ma­tion to reg­u­lar wor­ship­pers and vis­i­tors alike, we have recently changed the ‘look and feel’ of the site. You can find infor­ma­tion com­mon to both parishes (such as faith and life events) in the  menu above, whilst infor­ma­tion par­tic­u­lar to each church (such as ser­vice times, news and upcom­ing events) is listed indi­vid­u­ally under St. Peter & St. Paul, Salt­wood or St. Stephen, Lympne.
