Find a church

Still Norman in feel despite Victorian restoration in 1876, Burmarsh church is entered through a Norman doorway over which is carved a face that looks anything but friendly.

The remains of the Abbey of St Mary lie in the centre of St Dogmaels immediately south of the parish church, which itself lies to the south of the High Street.

Open daily, offering an atmosphere of quiet reflection to all visitors, St Mary's is an ancient place of worship dating back to at least 1190.

Set in the heart of Rye, surrounded by narrow streets lined with picturesque houses, St Mary's is a natural magnet for visitors to the ancient Cinque port.
