St Augustine's Church, Brookland

An unusual church in that the belfry is detached from the main body of the church and resembles a candle snuffer. One of the myths that grew up around it is that the master mason drew the body and steeple on two separate pieces of parchment which in turn was misunderstood by the builders who proceeded to build them separately. The reality is subsidence. Brookland is a marsh village built on reclaimed land with the consequence that the builders felt the main body would not hold the steeple and therefore built it separately. The church was completed in 1260.
