Blessed Mary of Walmer
Heritage Open Day: Dating back to the 12th century, this delightful church contains six funerary hatchments, including that of The Duke of Wellington who worshipped there. The church is set in a large graveyard containing significant Victorian memorials and adjoins the ruins of the medieval Walmer Court.
Walmer's original parish church, a Grade II* listed building, was built around 1120 as a private chapel of the d'Auberville family, who resided at Walmer Court. The church was enlarged in 1816 by the addition of a galleried nave on the north side of the existing nave, thus re-orientating the church on a north-south axis and placing the altar at the south. A further extension was made in 1826.
