All Saints Church, Frindsbury

A building dating from Saxon times and capable of holding 200 seated worshippers.  It has an organ and has recently restored its 8 bells. It has a sound/P.A. system including a ‘loop’ system.  It has CCTV security and is alarmed. The church itself is surrounded on all sides by graveyards; the West Churchyard (now closed) is managed by Medway Council, and the East Churchyard, managed by the PCC, has easy yet secure access to the Vicarage from the Churchyard.

St Philip and St James, Upnor

This is a small, picturesque mid-Victorian church. It has an organ and has recently undergone refurbishment with the installation of fixed heating, a toilet and a kitchenette. A small area of graveyard surrounds the Church.  It is quite close to the river and mid-way between Lower and Upper Upnor.

Bishop Gundulph Church, Chattenden

Until 1998 this was the Garrison Church of the Royal Engineers in the Garrison Camp at Chattenden. It was ‘gifted’ from the Army Chaplains Department to Rochester Diocese in 1998 and became part of the responsibility of the PCC at that time. It is a fairly modern building built in the 1960’s. The church has fixed pews, an entrance lobby, a small hall, two toilets and two small rooms (vestry/ex choir vestry). It has an organ and is surrounded by grassed areas currently maintained by the local authority. 

All Saints Church Parish Hall

The Parish Hall was rebuilt 12 years ago, after a fire destroyed the previous building. It includes a large well-equipped hall (including kitchen) which can hold up to 140 people seated. The Upper Room is suitable for smaller meetings. The Parish Office is also located at the hall and houses the reprographic equipment, as well as being the base for the Parish Administrator. A playgroup uses the hall four mornings a week and various other organisations use the hall on a regular basis, including Rainbows, Brownies and Guides, Frindsbury Floral Art group, Wives fellowship and Women’s Institute. It is also available for casual bookings.

Brenda Paine Building

This building was named in memory of Brenda Paine.

Scout Hall

Next to the Brenda Paine Building is the Scout Hall, which is very well utilised by a most active and large Scout Group consisting of Beavers/Cubs/Scouts and Explorers Scouts – the Scout Group is affiliated to and sponsored by All Saints Church.
