Within the churchyard there are many graves. Some are grand affairs, the final resting places of local well off families, others are more plain. The earliest on record being from 1652. The War Memorial near the road is the center of attention on remembrance day where a parade is held in honour of the men who lost their lives.

One of the most interesting names found in the churchyard is that of Midshipman Sydenham Snow, who on Easter Monday 1821 came across the "North Kent Gang" a group of smugglers unloading cargo on the beach in Herne Bay. Although Snow's men were outnumbered 20 to 1 he attacked them, under heavy fire Snow's pistol misfired. Instead of retreating he drew his knife and charged the gang. Snow suffered shots to the Legs and chest but didn't die instantly, when the firefight ended and the smugglers had escaped Snow's men carried him to "The Ship" pub where a Navy Surgeon tried to save his life. Unfortunately Snow Died 2 days later from his injuries. His grave stone now leans against the church seemingly forgotten.

The cache is not in the churchyard but just outside on the footpath that leads away from the back of the church.

Parking is not available outside the church, the nearest safe parking being in the pay and display car park in School lane or if you are lucky there are several parking bays on the main road towards Herne Bay. Also drivers who are unfamiliar to the area may find the mini-roundabout a bit dodgy as one of the exits is almost blind and although the road is barely wide enough for two cars it is used by double decker buses and giant lorries.
