A cut bench mark on the present church
of St Mary the Virgin in Reculver. The stone on which it is cut is cracked, and
beginning to show some weather damge.
This is the third church to bear the
name of St Mary in Reculver. The first is probably the most well known, it's
ruins and twin towers dominate the local skyline. A second church was built much
further inland due to fears of sea erosion, but it was poorly built and was
later replaced with the current church, which was consecrated in 1878.
