Message from the Church

Lorraine Ashley & Ros Ellis

It seems such a long time since Reverend Ali retired but when we look back, it has in fact, only been three months. It just feels much longer.

We have been very fortunate to have a great team of people working together, to ensure we have been able to keep the church running smoothly with a regular pattern of services highlighted by beautiful music. Visiting clergy regularly comment on the vibrancy and warmth of welcome within the church, all saying they would be happy to return.

What does the future hold for Holy Trinity?

It has been firmly indicated that we cannot remain as a stand-alone church and will therefore need to make a formal link with another local parish. It has been suggested that this link could be made with Westerham and as such we have been talking to their PCC and we have agreed to make tentative steps towards this.

Rev Dave Fox-Branch is the priest in charge at Westerham and he and his team are very supportive of this move and look forward to working closely with us, especially in terms of our links with Edenbridge. There would be a part time clergy member added to the team to ensure Holy Trinity is able to maintain its own pattern of regular worship, whilst looking for ways of working together to further develop both churches.

We are in the early stages of negotiation and working closely with our Archdeacon to ensure the best possible outcome for Holy Trinity.

We would like to thank everyone for their support and we will keep you informed of our progress as we move forward.

A warm welcome from Holy Trinity Church, Crockham Hill (within the Diocese of Rochester). We have a history of worship that goes back to 1842, and recently celebrated our 175th anniversary.

We are a 'middle of the road' Anglican church, with a determination to spread God's word more widely within our local community and beyond.

Holy Trinity was restored as an independent parish in 2014. Click here for more information about our Vicar including the report to the 2020 Annual Parochial Church Meeting.

For a number of years up to March 2014, our Church was linked to SS Peter & Paul, Edenbridge, whose Vicar was our Priest-in-Charge. Although that connection has come to an end, we continue to work closely with Edenbridge Church, and also with Edenbridge Churches in Covenant.
