History
An archaeological survey undertaken in 2010–11, found evidence of Romano-British and Anglo-Saxon habitation.[1] The present church dates from the late 13th century, with a traditional construction date of 1285.[2] A patent roll dating from the reign of Edward I records the partial remittance of a fine levied on the rector, "towards the works of his church begun by him".Шаблон:Sfn The architectural historian John Newman notes that there is strong stylistic evidence to suggest the involvement of Michael of Canterbury, the master mason at Canterbury Cathedral.Шаблон:Sfn The tower is later, of the fourteenth century.[2]
The church was restored between 1873 and 1875 by George Edmund Street.[2] It is designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building.[2]
In 2018, the Commissary General of the Diocese of Canterbury delivered a significant judgement on the installation of closed-circuit television at St Marys. Allowing the application, the Commissary sought to balance public-access requirements, for which CCTV was necessary on security grounds, and the privacy expectations of parishioners.[3] The church remains an active parish church with regular services.[4]
