St Mary's Church, Higham, Norman church in Higham, England
The Grade I listed St Mary's Church combines flint and ragstone construction, with flint arranged in horizontal stripes across its exterior walls.
The church site predates the Norman Conquest, with the current structure dating from 1050 and receiving substantial modifications during the medieval period.
The marriage of Charles Dickens' daughter Kate took place at St Mary's Church in 1860, connecting the building to Victorian literary heritage.
Located on Church Street in Lower Higham, the church stands 4 miles northwest of Rochester and maintains regular visiting hours through the Churches Conservation Trust.
The church features a Norman font and a 15th-century rood screen that separates the nave from the Lady Chapel at the east end.
