Church Of The Holy Cross

The Church of the Holy Cross is a 19th-century building, likely dating from 1842, originally serving as a Chapel of Ease to Reculver. It is constructed from flint and stone rubble with a tile roof. The church comprises a nave and lower chancel, a north aisle, a south porch, and a bell turret at the west end of the nave, topped with a broached shingled spirelet. The interior largely dates from the 19th century and resulted from a restoration in 1867 by Clark. An inscription on the west gable reads "Built 1303, repared 1842." The south porch features a stoup and early English corbel heads. Two brasses, dating from the 15th and 16th centuries, are present. The churchyard includes 18th-century headstones featuring skull and cherub motifs, and an oval bodystone.
