St Mellons Church – c.13th century

-

The church has technicall­y being standing for about 800 years but none of the original materials make up substantia­l parts of the church any more.

The only parts of the church that remain from its original constructi­on are the base of a high cross in the churchyard and the base of the font.

Over the centuries, the church has undergone a series of restoratio­ns which remained true to its medieval designs. Some doors are believed to be made from the wood of warships dismantled at Dover after World War I.
