History
The church was built in the 12th century, the tower in the 13th century, and the spire in the 14th century. The tower is 78 feet (24 metres) high, topped by a spire of 90 feet (27 metres), giving a total height of 168 feet (51 metres). The spire was saved from collapse following a recommendation by William Stukeley in 1741 that it should be repaired, work which was eventually carried out in 1788 by Charles Haynes, using iron strapping. The spire was strengthened again in 1913 by the addition of internal tie bars. One of the glories of St Mary's is the 14th-century (part of its east wall is 2nd-phase 13th-century) Corpus Christi Chapel (North Chapel). It is the earliest part of the church…
Visiting
The parish stands in the Anglo-Catholic tradition of the Church of England and receives alternative episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Richborough (currently Luke Irvine-Capel).
