The Parish Church of St Mary and St Eanswythe

The Parish Church of St Mary and St Eanswythe is a Grade II* listed building located on Church Street in Folkestone. Although largely rebuilt in the 19th century, the arcade of the chancel dates back to the 13th century, while the arches of the central tower, the Lady Chapel, and St Eanswythe's Chapel are from the 15th century. The church is constructed of stone rubble with a slate roof. The tower features an octagonal stair turret and angle buttresses. The nave and north aisle were rebuilt by R C Hussey between 1856 and 1859. A large Perpendicular west window and porch were added by Stallwood in 1872, with the south chancel aisle and transept rebuilt in 1869 and the south aisle in 1874. Inside, there is a triple crown post roof in the chancel, stained glass windows by Kempe, a 13th-century font, a Segrave tomb from around 1350, a monument to the Herdson family from 1628, a piscina, and double sedilia.
