According to Pevsner the church was financed by the Hill family and John Singer Sargent recommended Bentley to him.[1] It was the only Protestant church designed by Bentley.[1]
Since 2019 the church is part of the High Weald Churches benefice of Penshurst, Chiddingstone, Fordcombe and Chiddingstone Causeway.
The altar window is the work of Wilfrid de Glehn.[3]
