Monument record TR 03 SE 5 - Orgarswick Church (Site of)
Summary
The Church of Orgarswick, 1.5 miles north-west of Dymchurch, has disappeared, only a few scattered stones marking the site. Orgarswick was so poor that it was exempted from taxation in 1384. The church fell into decay in the first half of the 16th century. The footings of this church can be traced in the turf upon a low mound. Over the site of the altar, a concrete cross upon a stone base was erected in 1938, as stated upon a tablet. No trace of DMV (TR 03 SE 12) was observed in the vicinity.
