St Mary's Church, Eastwell St Mary's Church at Eastwell dates from the 15th century. It is a quiet spot at the end of a lane and close to the North Downs Way.

Looking towards Lake House at Eastwell John Newman in Pevsner's The Buildings of England: North East and East Kent states that "This has recently been recognised as an unusually large, late 13th century stone house with an upper hall. Most of the windows are 19th century but four blocked original ones survive." It is in Eastwell Park and the lake can be seen to the left. This view is from the North Downs Way.
