St Martins Church Great Mongeham Kent

St Martins Church Great Mongeham Kent
t was a grey old day when I took this picture
Great Mongeham is a village and civil parish in east Kent, on the outskirts of Deal. Its name is derived from Mundelingham or village of Mundel. Parts of Great Mongeham's church, St Martin's, dates back to the 13th century. This village church has a complicated history. The original building probably dates from Saxon times but there are claims that it goes back to AD 470. In the sixteenth century the interior was brightly coloured but by 1665 the church was in a state of disrepair. One third of the parishioners belonged to religious sects and did not attend service. The church was restored in 1851 by William Butterfield.

I have a painting on my wall of this Church painted by my neighbour he has removed a few of the tombs and it is a nice clear painting, unfortunately he passed away last year.
