Description
The Church of St Mary Sub-Castro, located at Dover Castle, is believed to have been founded around 1020 AD. The exterior features two storeys of flint, with some reused Roman brick window dressings and modern ashlar dressings. It has a modern tiled roof and a restored tower. In the 18th century, the church was roofless and used as a coalstore, but it was restored for use as a garrison church for the castle by Sir Gilbert Scott in 1862. Inside, there is a chancel arch made of Roman brick, a blocked Saxon doorway, and the site of a military altar dating from 1225 AD. The interior also includes a Victorian wooden roof and stained glass windows, along with mosaics created by Butterfield in 1888.
