Heritage Open Day: All Saints' is the Cathedral of the Marsh. The longest Parish Church in Kent, it has hundreds of interesting features. This is a rare opportunity to see the spectacular views from the tower. Volunteers will guide you to further highlights. The tall tower of All Saints' at Lydd can be seen for miles across Romney Marsh and Dungeness. Clearly visible from out at sea, it has been used as a way-marker and lookout point for centuries.
A place of worship has existed here for over 1,500 years or more. Features within this enormous church include the oldest masonry on the marsh, fine stained glass and a beautiful carved marble roundel by John Flaxman.
Especially for Heritage Open Days, the tower will be open on Wednesday 17th September from 10am to 1pm.
