Listed Building record TQ 57 SW 1073 - CHURCH OF THE HOLY TRINITY, Bank Street, Dartford

Summary

Grade I listed building. Main construction periods 1066 to 1792. The lower part of the tower of this parish church is Early Norman and may have been built by Bishop Gundulf of Rochester, apparently outside a chancel already existing. The chancel was rebuilt in the 13th century and a large north chapel, St Thomas' Chapel, was added east of the tower early in the 13th century. The nave with its aisles is 14th century. The south aisle of the chancel, or lady chapel, was built or rebuilt in the 15th century when the vestry, with a large room above and the west porch were added. Part of the old roof of the chancel remains. The west corner of the south aisle of the nave was cut off in 1792 to widen the High Street. Dartford was one of the early minsters founded in Kent before 700, and there is a fragment of 11th century impost reused on the north side of blocked arch in the east wall of the tower.
