St Augustine's Church, Brookland

St Augustine's Church is a Grade I listed Anglican church in the village of Brookland, Kent, in Walland Marsh, about 5 miles (8.0 km) north-east of Rye, East Sussex.

It has the unusual feature that the bell tower is separate from the rest of the church.

[2] The north porch, built in the 14th century, is of wood, and adjacent is a small tower with a clock.

[1][4] On the east end of the south wall of the south chapel is the surviving part of a painting depicting the martyrdom of Thomas Becket in 1170; this was discovered in 1964, and is thought to have been painted in the second half of the 13th century.

There is evidence that Brookland belonged to Edward of Coombe around the year 997; he gave the manor to St Augustine's Abbey in Canterbury, because his son was a monk there.
