St Mary sub Castro, Dover, Saxon church at Dover Castle, England
St Mary sub Castro exhibits a cruciform layout with an aisleless nave and central tower, constructed from stone blocks and flint with Roman tiles.
The church dates back to 601 AD, making it one of England's earliest religious structures, with subsequent modifications ordered by King Henry III in 1226.
The building represents Anglo-Saxon architectural traditions through its double-splayed round-headed windows and early English door arch construction techniques.
The church maintains regular opening hours for visitors who can explore both the interior architecture and the adjacent Roman lighthouse structure.
The building incorporates materials from a Roman pharos, which served as its bell tower through a connecting passage during medieval times.
