Reculver Towers and Roman Fort

Highlight • Monument

King Aethelberht I of Kent( c.590-616 AD) was the first king to convert to Christianity in 601 AD after the arrival of St Augustine and the Gregorian mission in 597 AD. The medieval minster or monastery dedicated to St Mary's, with its landmark twin towers, was founded on the site of a Roman fort at Reculver. The connection with the Anglo-Saxon Kings of Kent started at Reculver when King Ecgberht I gave the land over to a priest named Bassa in 669 AD. Eadberht II, was also buried here in the 760s. The minster became a parish church on the death of William the Conqueror in 1087 when churches and other properties were returned to the Archbishop of Canterbury.
