Tilmanstone is a small remote village near Eastry, about 8 miles due N of Dover. The church of St Andrew stands on a pronounced hill and is a twin-cell building of nave and chancel, with W tower and S porch. It has a Norman core, though the chancel interior presents a Victorian appearance. There is a Romanesque font and S doorway, and early windows on the N side.

Tilmanstone was part of the lands of the Archbishop of Canterbury in DB.

One of a number of small churches in remote upland near Dover. The doorway shows a modest level of investment, perhaps in the late 11th or early 12thc; the font is probably late 12thc.
