Welcome to Holy Innocents' Church, Adisham; one of the earliest recorded churches founded c.624. Holy Innocents' Church is dedicated to child martyrs, the male children killed by King Herod after the flight into Egypt of the Holy Family.

Holy Innocents' Church holds regular Sunday services, celebrating a broad community spirit within its building which was modernised ten years ago; whilst retaining many significant features.
• Norman (1000-1200) beginnings
• Cruciform (like a cross) construction
• Tower in the centre (not at the end)
• Embedded in a slope and sits above the village (step down into the Chancel)
• Single bell currently in use
• Chancel reflects Victorian restoration
• Chancel Triptych – three scenes from the infancy of Christ
• Chancel Organ – rare example of Hedgeland
• Late 12th Century Reredos from Canterbury Cathedral
• John Bland, Rector in 1555, martyred on a charge of heresy
