St. Mary’s Church in Patrixbourne is a beautiful Norman church, located approximately four miles southeast of Canterbury. Built mainly of flint, the church has three impressive Norman doors made of Caen stone, the same material used for Canterbury Cathedral. The church dates from the 12th century and is famous for its richly decorated south door, with a tympanum depicting Christ in Majesty surrounded by a variety of carved animals, birds and mythical creatures. Inside there is beautiful stained glass windows, including Swiss glass from the 16th and 17th centuries. The church lies on the route of the Via Francigena, a historic pilgrimage route.
