Location: Reculver Towers, Kent, UK - 1992
The Reculver Towers in Kent, UK, are an imposing landmark with a rich history. Here are some fascinating details:
Location and Appearance:
The twin towers of Reculver dominate the skyline of Herne Bay. They serve as a navigation marker for ships at sea.
These towers were part of the medieval church of St. Mary in Reculver.
The site is situated at Reculver Lane, Reculver, Kent, CT6 6SS1.
Historical Significance:
The location was once an early Roman fort built to defend against Saxon raids along the ‘Saxon Shore’.
Later, it transformed into an Anglo-Saxon monastery before becoming the parish church for Reculver.
The tall towers were constructed during a 12th-century remodeling of the church.
Coastal erosion has taken its toll, but the site still holds the ruined remains of the Roman fort alongside the twin towers
