Britain's What's On Event Guide
St. Mary’s Church, Walmer
Heritage Open Day: St Mary's is a fine example of Victorian Gothic revivalism, being surprisingly large and airy for a parish church. The main fabric of the building, built of Kentish rag with Bath stone, is unchanged since it was built. The splendid reredos, of opus sectile (a painted glass mosaic), is a fine example of late Victorian craftsmanship.
The foundation stone of Walmer's new parish church was laid in 1887 and the building was completed a year later. The tower, with a peal of eight bells, wasn't built until 1893 and has been left unfinished without its originally intended spire.
The church offers self-guided tours using information sheets provided.
