St Clement Church, Old Romney

Heritage and Gardens
St Clement Church is one of the oldest churches in Kent, dating back to the mid 12th century. There is some evidence of an original structure from the 8th century.

It is built on an artificial mound to protect it from flood waters and has many items of interest, including a medieval altar and a Royal Arms of George III dated 1800.

The church was used as a location for the film Dr Syn. Twentieth century film director Derek Jarman is buried in the churchyard.
