St Mary's Church, Eastwell, Ashford, Kent.
St. Mary's Church at Eastwell has the classic 'Haunted Ruin' appearance of Gothic legend.
Steeped in history the church dates from the 14th Century and now only consists of the western walls and tower, along with the old south porch and fragments of the east and south walls.
In 1555 the burial register records the burial of Richard Plantagenet, reputed to be the surviving son of Richard III who escaped the carnage of Bosworth Field to live his life as a recluse on the Eastwell Estate.
The same century saw the opening of a vault under the south chancel that would lead to the internment of members of the Finch family. Members of the Royal Courts their splendid memorial is now removed from its plinth to the Victoria and Albert Museum along with the later 'White Lady' memorial of Emily Georgiana Countess of Winchilsea who passed in her life of tragedy as a Kleptomaniac ending early.
The church was not, as popularly recorded, destroyed by a bomb in the war, but undoubtedly weakened by the army tank maneuvers in the park combined with water soaked up by the churches chalk structure since the 40 acre lake was built next to it in the 1840's, it crumbled in 1951 with what is described as a terrible roar by a witness who saw the collapse.
Ghost Connections previous visits were of interest and prompted a return visit especially in the light of a corroborated witness account sent to us recently.

Collegiate Church of St Mary the Virgin, Ashford; London (No 3) S. Royal 30/08/09
The 10 bells of Ashford Parish Church being rung to London (No 3) S. Royal prior to Choral Evensong on 30th August 2009, celebrating the centenary of the birth of Dr Paul Steinitz, founder of the London Bach Society. Dr Steinitz was the Organist & Choirmaster of Ashford Parish Church during some of it's most successful days, and the picture featured on this video is of the Parish Church Choir in 1934, with Dr Steinitz seated (and zoomed in on during the video). Also pictured in the centre near Dr Steinitz are Ian White Thomson who served his curacy in our great Parish Church at this time, and the Vicar, Rev Ronald Sutherland Brook Sinclair. We miss our bells, they having been silenced since 26th Sept 2010 for a project of redevelopment, destroying the historic interior of the Nave in order to house a 40% Arts Venue, although as time continues, it seems increasingly douubtful as to whether this project will ever develop meaningfully; and that a lovely mediaeval Parish Church may well have been sullied for no good reason.
