Just off the village of Sturry near Canterbury, is the pretty little town of Fordwich. (Britain's smallest town). St.Mary's is no longer used but is kept by The Churches Conservation Trust.
This film is respectfully dedicated to all who rest at St.Mary's.

  • My guess is that it is a candle box - we had one like this at home. I could be wrong in view of its recent carving. DG = Deo gloria. Did you spot the unusual face at the foot of the wall tablet at 1.38?

  • I think you may well be right. Certainly the size of the box would be explained by this. Yes; I did notice the face. There are many strange "images" around our churches.

    I would be very interested in hearing from yourself or other interested parties of further churches in this area which I could visit - I seem to be running out!

  • Very interesting. What IS that object at 2.59?

  • As I took the pictures, I KNEW you would ask me that! Sorry; there is no information in the church or on the 'net that I have found. If it is a collection box, it's an odd one. I think it probably stored some item used in service, but I stand to be corrected if anyone knows the answer please?

  • It is a collection box for money - not as old as it looks - mid 20c!
