About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The first church at Seasalter was possibly built in the Anglo-Saxon period. Seasalter was a possession of the Archbishop in the Domesday Book and according to tradition, Alphege's body lay here for three days on its way back to Canterbury in 1023. The original church was close to the seashore and washed away in the great storm of 1099. The present ‘Old church' was built further inland in the twelfth century. By the 1840s, the church was in a poor condition, and it was decided to build a new St. Alphege's church in Whitstable. The nave of the old church was demolished but following an appeal the chancel was converted into a mortuary chapel by William Hyder of Court Lees, Whitstable.
The churchyard is of good size and extends some distance south from the church. It contains two commonwealth war graves.
