Building edit
St Margaret's Church is located next to the junction between Green Lane and the B2162.
The building is Grade II listed, built in a 13th century style, set in a ragstone walled churchyard (closed by order in council).[4]
History edit
St. Margaret’s was built as a daughter church of Yalding in 1848. Collier Street became a parish in its own right in 1858 and remained a sole living until 1969 when it was reunited with Yalding to become the United Benefice of Yalding with Laddingford and Collier Street.[4]
