The Church, on the edge of the North Kent Marshes, is no longer used for regular Worship: it is now maintained by the Churches Conservation Trust. See ... www.visitchurches.org.uk ...
Per the Churches Conservation Trust, 'St Mary's sits remote from Higham village in orchards on the edge of marshes that run to the Thames. It is an unusual church with great charm and eccentricity. Its striped walls of ragstone and knapped flint and a near-symmetrical arrangement of two naves and two chancels are surmounted by a shingled spirelet. Originally Norman, it was remodelled and enlarged in the fourteenth century, perhaps when a priory of Benedictine nuns was established nearby.
There is some memorable woodwork including a fourteenth-century chancel screen in its original position, a fourteenth-century pulpit and a particularly fine south door, treated like a four-light window with much delicate carving and some original ironwork. Restoration in 1863 provided most of the furnishings and the glass in the chancel windows.'

St Giles Cathedral is a famous landmark on Edinburgh's Royal Mile. The cathedral has many beautiful and colourful stained glass windows such as the one photographed here.

The church has long been connected with the Archbishop of Canterbury, sitting on his doorstep as it were, but was originally part of the see of Rochester to which dues were paid right up to the 20th century. The church was deconsecrated in 1972 and fell into disrepair. It was saved from demolition by the establishment of a Museum of Garden history in the church and grounds, in part because Britain first true botanical gardeners, John Tradescant and his son, are both buried in the churchyard. Other graves of note are that of Capt William Bligh, of The Bounty fame, and Elias Ashemole, once a vicar of the parish and founder of the Ashemolean Museum in Oxford.
This is an amazing place. But you can only photographs the outside and NO PHOTOGRAPHY INSIDE.
The is an amazing chapel. Shame you cannot photograph the amazing inside. The guide and the history of the place is brilliant.
You would not be able to photograph because you are packed in like sardines. There are that many people visiting the chapel.

Day Nine .. Dolgellau making our way to Liverpool where we are staying the night.
St Mary’s Church, Dolgellau stands on the site of a medieval one, dating back to at least 1254 when it was mentioned in records. The current church is rare (for Wales) being Early Georgian, it was built AROUND the old one, which still continued to hold services. The old church was only demolished when the new one was completed (around 1716-1723) and then the old building was removed from within it.
The font from the original church, built circa 1250, is on display near the entrance. This was placed during the time of John Ellis, who was Rector from 1646-1665 and was also founder of the Dolgellau Grammar School. A chantry alter is recorded as having been located in the church in 1558.
The church contains a 14th century Effigy of Meurig ap Ynyr Fychan, an ancestor of Hywel Sele and the Nanney/Vaughan families of nearby Nannau. This used to lay in the chancel of the old church, but was moved to one of the north windows. A piece of the wall was removed to accommodate his feet. His sword is dated 1723, when the nave was completed.
The nave was constructed using dressed slate stones and the wooden posts were brought over the hills from Dinas Mawddy using oxen. They used to have brass coffin plates nailed to them, which was a custom at the time, but these have now been removed.
The tower was probably begun around 1727. The churchyard was extended to the north-west by ten roods in 1792.
There was also major restoration in 1864 and the chancel arch dates to this time. A central window was inserted in 1901.
The upper room (on the western end) was added in 1992 by Roy Olsen of Dolgellau. It is bow-fronted with arched windows.

The construction of this renaissance style cathedral began in 1906, and held the first service in 1915. It was designed by a French architect, Emmanuel Masqueray. The exterior walls are made of Rockville granite from St.Cloud, Minnesota. The interior walls are American Travertine from Mankato, Minnesota and also many different kinds of imported marble was used in the columns and in the chaples surrounding the sanctuary.
