Midley Church is a redundant medieval parish church situated in Kent, England, with origins likely extending to the medieval period. The structure represents a typical example of a rural parish church, though it has fallen into disuse and abandonment. The site retains its associated graveyard, which provides evidence of the church's former function as the spiritual and burial centre of its local community. The church's abandonment reflects wider patterns of rural depopulation and ecclesiastical reorganisation that affected many small parishes, particularly from the early modern period onwards.
