Thomas and Mary
On the left, the church of St Thomas of Canterbury, built 1874-5. On the right, the tower of the church of St Mary Magdalene. This church was begun in Norman times, with the tower being rebuilt in 1503. The tower is now the only remaining part of St Mary, the rest having been demolished in 1871 with some of the stone being used to enlarge the nearby St George’s which itself was destroyed, apart from its tower, in WW2.
