St Mary Magdalene, Ruckinge, Kent - 18th September 2005

This large church has evidence of fire damage on the masonry inside the building, the rebuilding probably occurring in the fourteenth century, which is the date of the crownpost roof.

The upper part of the tower, with its strange pyramidal roof with a short spire atop, is 13th century.

This view across the road of the north side is rather marred by the electricity cables.

Here is the Norman west door, which has much weathered 12th century work.  The south door is also Norman.
