ST MARTIN'S CHURCH
St Martin's Church was once the private chapel of Queen Bertha of Kent, in the 6th century. In 1844, gold coins dating from this period were found in the courtyard. The courtyard is also home to the graves of several important local families, as well as the painter Thomas Sidney Cooper and the artist Mary Tourtel. Still, it's the oldest church in England, right next to the famous cathedral. It is thought that it may have been a pagan temple later converted by Christians into a church. Don't miss the baptismal font.
