More about this scene
The tower stands tall and proud, and it is not difficult to understand why St Margaret's was one of several beacons forming a connection with other churches from London to the coast. Built in 1488, the tower is constructed of Kentish ragstone; the east wall of the chancel is 11th-century. Parish records are kept in a rare 14th-century chest in the Tufton chapel.
