Churches in Eastry Parish

St Mary the Blessed Virgin

Church Street Eastry Sandwich
(01304) 611323
https://www.ewbchurches.org.uk/welcome.htm

The Church dates from c.1230.  It was built lavishly in the early English style of architecture by the monks of Christ Church Abbey, Canterbury who owned the Eastry Manor at that time.

This Norman church almost certainly replaced a Saxon building, since Eastry boasted a Royal Palace for the Kings of Kent as early as 660 AD.  The origins of Christian worship on this site are lost in antiquity.

However, the building is still home to a thriving Christian Community, so please come and see us!
