St Margaret of Antioch, Darenth, is 3 miles SE of Dartford, Kent. The church is Grade 1 listed and has a 13thc. W tower, nave, 15thc. aisle and modern vestry. There is a stone-vaulted chancel with a blocked Transitional Gothic S arcade. The font is a fine example of Romanesque sculpture and there are some re-set Romanesque corbels.

The church is mentioned in Domesday Book. The manor was associated with Rochester Cathedral by the 15thc.

It is sometimes claimed that the church has very early origins (https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1085815) but the reasons for this are not entirely clear. However, the quality of the sculpture in the building and the presence of a sculptured font suggests a high level of patronage
