Borden is a village 2 miles SW of Sittingbourne. The church of St Peter and Paul has aisled nave and chancel, a solid W tower and a S porch. Features of interest include the W doorway and the tower arch.

Borden is mentioned in the Domesday Monachorum as 'Bordena'.

The carving of the W door is rather elaborate, even for a region with no shortage of sculpture, and must have required a considerable amount of work. This suggests that the church probably had a lavish, even ostentatious patronage, which may be the basis for the foundation of the church in 1210 by Robergia de Bourdon, whose husband, Francis de Bourdon, was buried in the churchyard.
