St Gregory and St Martin’s Church

Highlight • Religious Site

St Gregory & St Martin’s church is first mentioned in Domesday Book as a 'Minster church' with a cruciform plan. However, the earliest visible remains that can be observed today date from the 13th century. These are the west wall, the west buttresses aisle walls, and the west doorway. The surviving arcades in the nave must also date to the later 13th century. As a result of the founding of the new college by Archbishop Kempe in 1447, the church was rebuilt.

Millennium Stone and Wye Crown viewpoint

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Millennium Stone sits directly above the Wye Crown; a massive white crown carved into the hillside by students from Wye Agricultural Village in 1902 to celebrate the coronation of King Edward VII. The stone itself was placed to mark the turning of the millennium by the Crown Management committee. It's perfectly placed to highlight the incredible view out across Romney Marshes all the way to the English Channel.
