St. Mary Magdalene, Monkton, Thanet, Kent, England



 


Notes: Said to have been built in the 13th Century the origins of this Church go back much further as the location was given to the monks of Christ Church, Canterbury about 1,000 years ago. It is an extremely plain building from the outside.
The Church is set up high on a hill overlooking what was once The Wantsum Channel and is extremely exposed to any winds that might blow across this exposed area from the South East to the South West and it certainly seems to replect this. Very unusually, the churchyard has no yew trees which might well be because the Monks that once lived here were great sheep farmers.
