The parish church of St Michael is a classic Kentish church overlooking the village green in Hernhill. St Michael's was built in the 15th century. The bells in the tower can be played as a carillon and its churchyard has wonderful views to Blean Woods.

Dist:0.2km<br/>What an extraordinary building. A small, half-timbered, jettied crosswing on a brick-built hall house with gothic windows, attached to which is a late 18th century south wing with fake battlements and brickwork reminiscent of dolls house wallpaper. This part of the building is used as the village club, founded by the Dawes family of Mount Ephraim, and one of the earliest in the country.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Unusual among medieval churches in being all of a piece - the whole structure was rebuilt in about 1450.

Dist:0.2km<br/>A view which gives the impression that Church Oast is attached to St Michael's Church rather than across the road from it.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The large, half-timbered building on the left is the Red Lion pub (originally a Wealden Hall, built in 1364). There is a wooden plaque on the seat by the oak tree on the right which reads "This oak tree was planted by W E Gaskain Esq Chairman of the Hernhill Parish Council in commemoration of the Silver Jubilee of our gracious sovereign George V. May 6th 1935. H S Crole Rees Vicar." The church of St Michael stands out of shot on the right.
