Description

Photographer's note: 'Reputed to be the oldest Parish Church in England. On the same site was a church used by Roman Christians. This is supposed to be the church outside the city walls where, before the Conversion, Queen Bertha worshipped with her chaplain Bishop Liudhard. The Saxon font is traditionally associated with the baptism of King Ethelbert. The exterior is built of bands of flint, Roman brick and rubble. Tiled roof and squat C14 crenellated tower. The interior contains a C7 chancel, altered in the C14, a Norman piscina and holy water stoup and a Squint.'
