Ruins of parish church. Medieval (said to be C12-C13). Small slabs of roughly coursed stone interspersed with large flints. A few ashlared quoins. Continuous nave and chancel. No visible plinth. West end of nave and north and south return walls remain in form of two L-shaped blocks about 15 feet high and 7 to 10 feet long in either direction, separated by a now featureless gap. Another block of similar dimensions about 75 feet to east marking south-east corner of chancel. 3 small blocks about 5 feet high; one part of east gable end, one, possibly remains of chancel arch, with ashlared quoins, within body of church on north side towards east end, and one to south wall opposite. Linked by foundations. Parish of Hope All saints was incorporated in the parish of St Mary in the Marsh in 1934. The church had fallen into decay by 1573 and into ruins by mid C17 (M.H.L.G. Romney Marsh Rural District Provisional List of Buildings of Architectural or Historic Interest, 1956).
