There are several layers of wall paintings, some recently uncovered. They date from the thirteenth to seventeenth centuries and are extremely high quality. However the most important feature is the small carved plaque on the north wall of the chancel. This is a rare dedication stone, probably of thirteenth century date

Ethelburga, daughter of King Ethelbert and Queen Bertha of Kent, married Edwin, King of Northumbria in 625. By her influence he was converted and baptised at the place where York Minster now stands. But he was killed in battle against “the heathen” in 633, and Queen Ethelburga fled for safety to Kent. Her brother, now King Eadbald, gave her a royal property in Lyminge. Queen Ethelburga founded here a double minster or convent for men and women, becoming the first Abbess. When Ethelburga died in 647, she was regarded as a Saint and her remains were placed in the northern porticus of her church, which made the place a pilgrimage shrine.

Take a breather on the bench at the end of the trail, great view of the village and hills
