St Mary's Church, Eastwell, Gothic church ruins in Eastwell, United Kingdom.

The remaining structure includes a 15th-century tower constructed from flint with plaster, featuring diagonal buttresses and a battlemented crown at its summit.

The church experienced significant structural issues, leading to the nave's roof collapse in 1951 and subsequent demolition of remaining sections in 1956.

The mortuary chapel contains memorials to notable figures, including a dedication to Richard Plantagenet, who some believe was the son of Richard III.

The Friends of Friendless Churches organization maintains the site since March 1980, preserving these architectural elements for public viewing.

The church walls feature a consecration cross carved in knapped flint, while many original monuments are now displayed at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
