A Look Around All Saints Church in Biddenden, Kent.
Revd. Alex Bienfait very kindly shows Julia and I around the beautiful parish church in Biddenden in Kent and points out some of his favourite historic artifacts.
All Saints was built mostly in the 13th century, although there was likely an earlier Saxon church on the site. Inside we discover a collection of interesting memorial brasses, fascinating graffiti on the pillars left by the masons during the building's construction and an ancient box from the time of the crusades.

The Cathedral of the Marsh
Here I take a look around All Saints' Church Lydd.
Lydd lies in the middle of Romney Marsh between Dungeness and Appledore .
Originally on the coast it was a famous port and fishing town lying on an island on the opposite side of the estuary of the river Rother to New Romney . Lydd was founded on an island in the marshes by the Saxons and was known as Hylda .
Edward I in the Cinque Ports charter gave the rights to Lydd so that it shared taxes with New Romney on the catches of fish landed in the area.
The stonework of All Saints church was started by the Saxons, and some of this original stonework is still visible by the font. The wealth of Lydd enabled the church to be enlarged until it is now the largest of the churches on the Romney Marsh and is known as the Cathedral of the Marshes . The church tower was raised to 132ft high by Cardinal Wolsey in the 15th century.
In 1287 the Great Storm hit the channel and blocked the mouth of the Rother, changing its course to run south from Appledore to Rye . This change turned the harbour at Lydd into farmland and marsh, and destroyed its main claim to fame.
As the land grew around the island so the fishermen moved with it to the sea, today at Lydd on Sea about 3 miles south.
