The entry for this church/chapel in the BHO/Brtish History Online, Edward Hasted, 'Parishes: Stone', in The History and Topographical Survey of the County of Kent: Volume 6 (Canterbury, 1798), pp. 393-396. British History Online http://www.british-history.ac.uk/survey-kent/vol6/pp393-396 [accessed 7 October 2023] notes: "It is but a small obscure parish, hardly known to any one [...] The church was always accounted as a chapel to that of Tenham, as appears by the Black Book of the archdeacon of Canterbury, and was given and appropriated with that church, as an appendage to it, in 1227, by archbishop Stephen Langton, to that archdeaconry [...] The church or chapel of Stone has been for a long time desecrated; the foundations of it yet remain on the north side of the field, on the north side of the high London road [...] The walls of it have several Roman bricks mixed among the flints. The church seems to have been about thirty-two feet long, and the chancel twenty-four, and about twelve feet broad. By the remains of a piece of wall, the tower seems to have stood between the church and the chancel." The church itself is noted in the The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland (1868) as having been built partially with Roman bricks. Equally reported in ruins in John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (18701972).

Meates' The ruined church of Stone-by-Faversham: second report, in the Antiquaries Journal, 57/1 (1977), 67–72 [https://doi.org/10.1017/S0003581500053798] but mentions no font in it.
