Ruins of Parish church. Medieval, probably C15. Thin coursed buff bricks interspersed with single courses of uneven slabs of stone and flint. Largely stone above level of doorway. Gable (probably west end), with stumps of walls either side of doorway to west, and remains of north and south return walls to east. Window opening with stone dressings, splayed jambs to east and remains of possibly 4-centred arched hollow- chamfered head. Doorway immediately beneath with stone dressings to east, unsplayed jambs and remains of plain-chamfered, possibly 4-centred arched head with upended brick voussoirs. Stone corbel carved with rounded head in gable above centre of window. Midley was formerly a separate parish which was incorporated into Old Romney in 1934. The church had fallen into decay by 1573. The bricks are early and unusual. (M.H.L.G. Romney Marsh Rural District, Provisional List of Buildings of Architectural or Historic Interest, 1956).
