The ruins of St Mary’s Church at Little Chart in Kent, England.

The church was dedicated to Saint Mary the Virgin and the Holy Rood having been built by the Normans in the 11th century.

It was described as a handsome building of sandstone with two aisles, two chancels with a steeple at the west end. The steeple is said to have been built in Henry VII’s reign. The Victorians carried out major repairs in the 19th century with new windows, and oak panelling.

Sadly, on 16th August 1944 during WW2, St Mary’s received a direct hit from a flying bomb known as a doodlebug. With only the damaged tower and parts of the chancel wall surviving, the bells were removed and stored. The remains still stand today.

"The stay at Balmoral was exactly what we needed. Clean and good facilities with a superb breakfast spread laid on and clear instructions throughout. Unfortunately we were doing a huge bike ride early on the Saturday morning and couldn’t take advantage of all of the food provided. The checking in and checking out process for us was ideal given our late arrival and early check out and took a lot of anxiety away from the whole ordeal. I would definitely stay here again if we were doing the ride...

"We booked two rooms for a one night family stay. The hotel is basic but had everything we needed and was comfortable. We used the restaurant in the evening and the food (pizza, wrap) was good. Breakfast was also good with plenty of choice. What really lifted the stay was the performance and attitude of the staff. Friendly and really helpful. Attentive at dinner and breakfast. A real effort at breakfast to keep items replenished and make sure people had what they wanted. Just before the end of breakfast staff made sure everyone knew the buffet was about to close, so they could go to get anything else they wanted. "
