St Mary's Church, Sandwich, Norman church in Sandwich, England
The Grade I listed St Mary's Church features flint and stone construction with wide nave, chancel, and north aisles spanning its architectural layout.
Built around 1150 on the site of a former convent from 664, the church endured French attacks in 1217 and 1457, plus an earthquake in 1578.
The interior contains an octagonal font from 1662, a polygonal pulpit from the 18th century, and stained glass windows by Ward & Hughes.
St Mary's Arts Centre now hosts weddings, concerts, exhibitions with modern amenities including heating systems, stage lighting, and mobility access.
The church's south porch functions as a tower structure, featuring a belfry that was added in 1714 during extensive modifications.
