Chillenden is a village between Canterbury and Deal. The church of All Saints is a small twin-cell building. Although mostly Perpendicular in feel, the building nevertheless has Romanesque doorways to N and S.

The Domesday return for Kent records that there was a small settlement at Chillenden and that it was held of Bishop Odo of Bayeux.

Despite its technical simplicity, the S doorway has an attractive and pleasing aesthetic quality. This is in part due to its simple proportions, accurate setting-out and the play of light on the mouldings. The grape motif in the N door is very unusual to find in this type of context. Together, they might imply a highly competent workshop undertaking a simple commission.

One of Christ Church Canterbury's great priors, Thomas Chillenden, shared his name with the settlement.
