St.John
the Baptist
Number 72 in the
series is St John the Baptist in Meopham. This striking flint
church is substantially the same today as when originally built in
1325 on the site of an earlier Saxon church. The vicar’s
vestry, the oldest part of the church, was formerly a Lady’s
Chapel before being converted to a private chantry complete with
squint so that church services could be observed in seclusion.
Slightly older are the aisles which were rebuilt in 1386 following
the earthquake of 1382 and the 14th to 20th Century stained glass
windows.

If anybody would
like to expand this series please do, I would just ask that you
could let sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the
Church numbers and names to avoid duplication
