St Thomas a Becket Church now stands all alone in a grassy field on the Romney Marsh, surrounded by watercourses and sheep. The village it once served has long since disappeared, but the church has survived. It was built as a purely temporary measure to provide the local farmers with a place of worship. Temporary became permanent, and the 13th-century building survived intact until the 18th century when the entire timber building was encased within brick walls, and the roof was covered with heavy red tiles.
