Description

The Sailors' Church and former Sailors' Home, opened in 1878, is a building located at Ramsgate Royal Harbour. It is constructed of red brick with blue brick banding and features a slate roof. The structure has three storeys, with a central gable on the lean-to roof that is inscribed "Sailors' Home." The façade includes five bays of paired lancet windows on the second and first floors, along with two-light paired lancets and a roundel in ashlar on the ground floor. There is a boarded door located in a gabled porch on the left return.

Inside, the ground floor serves as the church and has a flat exposed timber ceiling supported by stone corbels. It contains later 19th-century wooden seats, a lectern from 1878, and a hexagonal wooden pulpit. There is also a four-bay Commandment Table featuring trefoil-headed panels and a framework made of painted stone and marble. Stone stairs at the southeast end are complemented by a wooden and iron balustrade. The dormitory area was used for shipwreck survivors and includes a commemorative tablet to Frederick Lucas at the entrance.
