St Mary's in West Malling and St Michael's in Offham are Church of England churches situated in the Malling area of Kent as part of the Diocese of Rochester.
A Christian place of worship has existed on the site of our church since the Anglo-Saxon era. The name Offham first appeared in a Charter from 832 A.D. when Aethulwulf, son of King Egbert and father of Alfred the Great, gave the estate to what we know no as Canterbury Cathedral. Doubtless, a wooden church would have existed at that time; built by Offham’s Lord of the Manor to serve as his private chapel. It was not intended for the use of the villagers, which, in turn, explains why the church is so far from the centre of the village and the village green.
