Old St Mary's, Walmer

The church structure features thick stone walls, rounded archways, and a roughcast lower chancel constructed primarily with flint materials.

Established in 1101, the building underwent modifications in the early 19th century, including the addition and subsequent removal of a north aisle.

Duke of Wellington attended services at this church during his time as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, leaving his hatchment on the north wall.

The church maintains regular opening hours for visitors who wish to explore its architectural elements and historical monuments from different centuries.

A stained glass window at St. George's Episcopal Memorial Church in the United States contains fragments from this church's windows damaged in World War II.
