Church of St Mary the Virgin
This historic church stands in an idyllic spot near the River Stour, leaning somewhat, as a result of a 15th-century flood. Inside, the church is mellow and unspoilt, with 17th-century fittings and wall paintings. It is home to a strange carved stone, dating from around 1100. Nearly 1.7 metres long, the Fordwich Stone is thought to be a shrine made for the body parts or relics of a saint, maybe St Augustine of Canterbury…
