St Mary in the Marsh is a village near New Romney in Kent, situated in the heart of Romney Marsh. The village consists of a few homes, The Star Inn, and a church, “St Mary the Virgin”.
The village dates back to Anglo-Saxon times.

Church of St Mary the Virgin, St Mary in the Marsh

It is probable that there was a Saxon church on the site originally known as "Siwold's Circe". This was superseded after the Norman invasion by a stone built church with a splendid three tier tower of Kentish ragstone.
The oldest parts of the church are about 1133 AD. The chancel was extended in about 1220 AD.
