Churchyard - St. Stephen's Tonbridge, Kent.

The railway came to Tonbridge in 1842. The south end of the town developed rapidly as a result and the population quickly outgrew the existing parish church, St Peter and St Paul.

In 1848 the vicar, Sir Charles Hardinge, paid £200 to buy the site for St Stephen's.The church was built by a local firm called Punnett and completed in 1853
