Further research is needed.
The parish church of St. Margaret in Rainham, once a separate village but now incorporated into Gillingham, dates mainly from the 14th and 15th centuries, but there is also some interesting Norman work visible. Inside are some interesting murals as well as the remains of six consecration crosses. Culpepper involvement in this church, if any, is unknown. Further research is needed. Cherries and apples formerly abounded here, but at present they are not cultivated to any great extent.
