Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints in Lydd, known as the Cathedral of the Marsh, is a Grade I listed parish church. It features remnants of a Saxon basilica in the north-west corner. The chancel and the three easternmost bays of the nave are in the early English style, while the three westernmost bays and the tower date from the 15th century. The exterior is constructed of ragstone rubble with a tiled roof. The tower is crenellated and adorned with four crockets. Inside, there is lierne vaulting, a nave with aisles, and a fine 15th-century king-post roof supported by carved corbels. The church also contains two piscinas, a sedilia, and a restored chancel roof. Notable features include a 16th-century memorial to Thomas Godfrey, an effigy of Sir Walter de Meryl, Lord of the Manor of Jacques Court, brasses, and a mid-18th-century font.
