St. Peter & St. Pauls Dymchurch
This is one of the many famous churches of Romney Marsh. This particular church featured in the novels of Russell Thorndike where the fictional smuggler Dr. Syn was pastor. The essence of these stories was made into the film 'Dr Syn'.and later 'Dr Syn, Alias the Scarecrow'. Unfortunately in that film, St.Peter and St.Paul's church was not photogenic enough, or easy enough to film around due to traffic. The film makers used the church at Old Romney instead. See www.dymchurch.org/history/syn.htm for details.
