Benchmark - St James - Bicknor, Kent - European Historic Survey Stones, Monuments and Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

Cut benchmark on the south west corner (south face, west angle) of St James' church tower, Bicknor.

"The church, which is dedicated to St. James the Apostle, consists of a nave and two side isles, and a chancel, which is half the length of the church. The nave is double the height of the two isles. There is a low pointed steeple at the south-west corner of it.

It is a very antient and curious building, and appears by the short and clumsy size, and bases of the pillars, the zig-zag ornaments of their capitals, and the semi-circular plain arches in every part of it, to have been built in the time of the Saxons; indeed, the whole of it has marks of a very early period."
