St Mary's Church is a parish church in Lamberhurst, Kent.[3][4][5] It is a Grade I listed building.[1]
Building[edit]
The first buildings on the site were erected in Saxon times. Records show there was a church or chapel of some sort here in AD998, and that it was consecrated during that year (24th September[2]). The building has been expanded, adapted and updated many times since then. There is an ancient Yew tree by the porch of the church that is estimated to be over 1500 years old, predating the church.[4]
Stained Glass[edit]
Some of the stained glass in the church was designed by John Piper.[6]
Burials and memorials[edit]
The church has a series of wall monuments, the most notable a black and white aedicule to Richard Thomas d.1657, and the series of marble plaques to the Husseys in the south (Scotney) chapel, including those of Edward Hussey, d.1894 and Christopher Hussey, d.1970.[1]
