Cykling

Now partly in ruins, the 13th century St Thomas the Martyr Church is dedicated to Thomas Beckett, Archbishop of Canterbury. The church was built when the whole village of Winchelsea was moved inland and uphill after flooding decimated the port of the same name. There are differing accounts as to whether the building was ever finished or if it was partly destroyed in an attack by the French. It is worth looking inside at the intricate masonry, medieval tombs and early 20th century stained glass window.

Mark sure to pop into the church as it has some amazing stained glass windows. Outside you can see the ruins of the previous church
