Church of St Clement, Old Romney, Medieval church building in Old Romney, England
The Church of St Clement sits on a raised mound, displaying red-tiled roofs, buttresses, and a broach spire topping its bell tower. The building combines structural elements from multiple medieval periods into a unified composition.
The structure was built around 1250, replacing an earlier Saxon church that stood on the site. Its walls and architectural features bear the marks of repairs and modifications across centuries of use and weathering.
The interior showcases Georgian wooden panels inscribed with religious texts alongside pink-painted box pews from the 1700s. These furnishings reflect the taste and faith practices of worshippers from centuries past.
The building sits about 250 meters from the nearest parking areas and welcomes visitors daily. Level access to the main sections means you can explore without climbing stairs.
The church was used as a filming location in 1963, triggering extensive renovation work. The distinctive pink coloring of the box pews came about during this restoration period.
