St Martin’s Church, Aldington.
Surprisingly, St Martins Church has been
a landmark for sailors for centuries, even
though it’s several miles from the sea. It
stands just to the east of the present
day village centre, on the edge of the
escarpment overlooking Romney Marsh.
The earliest parts of the church date
back to the 12th Century, but the tower
wasn’t started until some 300 years later.
Strangely, the tower was originally built
entirely separate from the main church,
but by the time they eventually finished
it (in the 20th Century), the main church
had been extended to meet the tower.
The choir stalls date back to the 14th
Century, and are reputed to be amongst
