A small church.
A generous sky.
The tall composition gives the spire room to rise. Come closer and the tower rewards a longer look: coursed rubble, weathered mortar and the ruddy voussoirs of an arch hinting at a former opening.

In my words.
I was making my way towards Fairfield when St Clement’s caught my eye. The afternoon had another photograph in mind for me, but this was a detour I couldn’t resist. I pulled off the road and went to have a look.
There is such personality in the way this tower meets the sky. The coursed rubble, shingled spire and great buttress seem to have found their own, slightly unexpected balance. Beneath the ruddy voussoirs of an arch, the wall seems to remember a former opening. It is a delightful face, full of hints and changes, while beyond it the marsh carries on with its day.
Sometimes the best part of a journey is the place that persuades you to change your plans.
An irresistible detour.
St Clement’s is Grade I listed, with medieval fabric developed over several centuries. Its low shingled spire and overlapping roofs give it an unusually distinctive shape. The listing identifies a brick relieving arch on the tower’s west side; the suggestion of an earlier opening adds to its character.
Inside, the story takes a colourful turn. Eighteenth-century box pews and a gallery remain; the pink paint is a legacy of filming Disney’s Dr Syn on Romney Marsh. A small church with more than one surprise up its sleeve.
Two views of a marshland church.
