All Saints Church is set in the very small marshland village of Burmarsh, for centuries occupied by shepherds and smugglers, two miles inland from the coast in an area used during Roman times to provide salt for the Empire

The building of this Parish Church was begun in the middle of the 12th century by Monks from Canterbury and boasts an impressive Norman arch which encases the entrance door

Built on the unstable ground that is the marsh, the church required buttressing and a complete rebuild of its tower in the late 14th century

Two of its mediaeval bells from about 1375 are still in use today, while the third mediaeval(tenor) bell, dedicated to the Magdalene, sits in the nave near the screen as it cracked in 1914 and could no longer be rung - in total the church tower has six bells which are still in use today.
