There are 4 churches in Headcorn. St Peter and St Paul, Anglican church is situated at the western end of the High Street. The present building is mostly 14th century, although there is evidence of a church in Headcorn since the 11th century. Amongst the churches more notable assets are the superb oak roof and good stained glass. The large square tower has an excellent peel of 8 bells. The Methodist church is also at the western end of the High Street. The present building was put up in 1867, although Methodists were evident in the village during the early 1800's or before. The Baptist church is situated where the High Street becomes Station Road. The church was built in 1819 and is a very attractive building, recently the front of the building has been accurately rebuilt due to subsidence. The Baptist's community in the village dates from 1675. The Roman Catholic church is in Station Road on the same side as the Baptist. It is a modern building of an attractive design.
