St. Giles The Abbot: The Church Building

Reproduced from 'The Church Guide Book' - to be updated 2003

        For about 1500 years, it is believed, a church has stood on the high piece of land to the south of the village of Farnborough. The view from this point takes in the farm land and natural woodland right down the valley and to the top of the next hill. Within living memory this area of Kent was owned by the Lubbock family, Sir John Lubbock (the first Lord Avebury) being responsible for the Education Act of 1870 and the Bank Holidays Act amongst others. The land is now managed by the local Borough Council and the Kent County Council.
