The Church of St Margaret of Antioch at Darenth, Kent is a church with Norman origins thought to be the third oldest in Kent and the sixth oldest in the United Kingdom.[1] It is a Grade I listed building.[1]
The chancel and nave are late 10th century or early 11th century.[1] The sanctuary is early 12th century. The church was restored twice in the 19th century, first by William Burges in 1866-68[2] and then by Ewan Christian in 1888.[3] Newman describes the church as "important, but visually rather charmless."[2]
