Summary Description

St Mary’s Patrixbourne is a Grade I listed Norman church which stands about four miles southeast of Canterbury on the Via Francigena, the North Downs Way, and the recently reactivated Old Way. Although built mainly of flint, the church has three Norman doorways of Caen stone, as used at Canterbury Cathedral. The main doorway is very intricate with a gable, five voussoirs and a carved tympanum. There are a number of mass clocks cut into the door posts and there are also pilgrims’ and crusader crosses.
