St Nicholas Churchyard, Chislehurst (also known as Chislehurst Parish Church)

Introduction

The church of St Nicholas surrounded by its burial ground forms a picturesque group on the edge of the common. Its tall shingled spire has long been a local landmark. There are some good monuments in the church and churchyard, in part accounted for by the fact that the highly influential Walsingham family were Lords of the Manor of Scadbury; their Scadbury Chapel is in the church.
