A roadside parish church to the south of Ashford, with Romanesque sculpture in two exterior doorways. The church has a massive Norman W tower, its W face containing a Romanesque doorway with a smaller 15th-century portal inserted within it. The chancel dates to the 14th century, as do the aisles to the nave. The south aisle contains a reset Romanesque doorway.

In 1066 the manor was controlled by Christ Church Canterbury, and was worth £22. In c.1070 it was still worth £22, although in 1086 its value had increased to £39. It is written in Domesday, Rochinges, later Rakinge and Rucking.

The church was a rectory, assessed at £ 16. 13s. 4d. in the 1291 Taxatio.

These two Romanesque doorwarys are a masterclass in the exploitation of concave and convex profiles, and unusual for featuring chip-carving on the sides of the capitals.
