Old St Mary's Church, officially known as The Blessed Virgin Mary Church, is a grade II* listed Anglican church in Upper Walmer, Kent. The church dates from the early Norman era, being built in 1120 as the chapel to the adjoining Walmer Manor (now in ruins). The church is small, with a nave built of flint, and a roughcast lower chancel. The original Norman entrance door and chancel arch survive, along with two windows on the south side. However, the nave's north wall was removed early in the 19th century to build on an extended and deep north aisle between 1825 and 1826. This north aisle was demolished in 1898, with the building returning to its original size. The south doorway is early Norman, with large shafts and capitals in a scalloped style. The chancel arch shares many decorative motifs with the south doorway, however the inner arch has cushion-shaped capitals as well as extra moulding. More information...
