St Mary's Church, Dover, Anglican church in central Dover, England
The church stands on Cannon Street with a Norman tower and three bays of arcades that showcase architectural elements from the early 12th century.
The original Saxon church mentioned in the Domesday Book underwent extensive reconstruction in 1843-1844, maintaining only its original tower from earlier periods.
The interior contains a memorial dedicated to victims of the MS Herald of Free Enterprise ferry disaster that occurred near Zeebrugge in 1987.
The building features eight bells, initially cast in 1724 by Samuel Knight and subsequently rehung multiple times through the centuries for continued functioning.
From 1581, St Mary's replaced St Peter's Church as the official place of worship for Dover's Mayor and corporation after the latter fell into disrepair.
