St Mary's Church, Kent

St Mary's Church is the ruins of a mediæval church, built within a Roman Saxon Shore fort, located at Reculver, Kent. The church dates back to 669, though the main remains are its 12th-century twin towers. Though the church was almost completely demolished in 1809, the towers were retained since they had long been a landmark for shipping. The monument is within the council area of Canterbury (Kent).
Historic England Scheduled Monument 1018784.
