Save The Date !
Join us at St Martin's for the licensing service of our new rector, Hannah Glover on Thursday 12th November. We look forward to formally welcoming Reverend Hannah to the Parish and taking the opportunity to celebrate this happy occasion, as a church community, with a special time of fellowship.

Christian Aid Week 2026
​​As a church, in services and at our May coffee morning, we raised £211
Thank you to all those that took part and gave generously to support the important work of Christian Aid.
​
Here is how our donations might help someone like Fridah to grow food, protect their children from hunger, and nurture hope:
£5 could buy the seeds that kickstart a family’s nutritious vegetable garden.
£10 could pay for the pair of chickens that produce fertiliser for an urban farmer.
£15 could purchase the hand tools that mean an urban farmer can tend their crops.
£30 could buy the trio of cone garden planters that host hundreds of plants in a tiny city space.
Ide Hill Society History Talk
On 13th June, we hosted members of the Ide Hill Society for a talk on the history of St Martin's, together with a short tour of the churchyard highlighting some of its more notable monuments. Everyone found the walk and tour enjoyable as well as interesting with many members expressing their surprise about some aspects of our colourful past.
Having hosted a similar event for the Orpington U3A a few years ago, we would be delighted to organise one for people in Brasted!
If you would like explore planning a group history talk at St Martin's Church please contact our Churchwardens for more information
