St.Mary's
Number 93 in the
series is St Mary's in Fawkham.The church that visitors see today
was built in the early 12th Century by the Norman family –
the de Faukehams – that this village is named for. However, a
wooden Saxon church existed on this site prior to that and is
mentioned in the Domesday Book. Although much restoration work has
been carried out over the centuries, the church’s
distinguishing features include the Norman font, the 17th Century
bell, the Walter family brasses, the Nave’s 13th century wall
painting, and the Chancel’s stained glass window.
There is parking to
the side of the church.
