This wonderful old marsh church was built around 1162, with the Bells being cast in 1430.
Legend has it that Thomas à Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, journeying across the Romney Marshes, fell into one of the marsh’s many ditches and prayed to St. Thomas for rescue. A passing farmer saved him and the Archbishop had the church built by way of gratitude. The original walls were of Plaster and Lathe, but later the original walls and additions, were rebuilt with from and in 1912 the entire church was dismantled to make the footings secure, and then rebuilt using as much of the original materials as possible.
