The first thing you might notice about this church is its name. There are only eight churches dedicated to St Rumwold in the entire country. Rumwold was a 7th-century infant saint, a child who only lived three days during which he repeatedly asserted that he was Christian and asked to receive Holy Communion. There are numerous other exceptionally mystifying tales about him.

Chatty babies aside, this church dates back to the 12th century, although much is 13th and 14th. It sits by itself, just south of the village of Bonnington, on the edge of Romney Marsh and by the Royal Military Canal.
