St Marys Church, Chilham Kent
The church of St Mary, Chilham, was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, but has a history going back perhaps as far as the 7th century. In the 12th century the church was owned by the French abbey of St Bertin, a Benedictine monastery at St Omer. It later passed into the hands of Syon Abbey, based at Isleworth in Middlesex.
The striking tower reaches 68 feet in height, affording far-reaching views. On a clear day the towers of Canterbury Cathedral can be seen.
Not clear when I visited!!!
MY THANKS TO ALL WHO VISIT AND COMMENT IT IS APPRECIATED
