Summary

St Mary's Church. An Alien Priory cell of Austin canons was founded here c. 1200 and dissolved in 1409. The Church of St Mary, Patrixbourne was constructed during the late 12th century and has 13th century additions. The tower is placed centrally in the south aisle forming a `porch of honour', a distinctly Norman feature. The east end of the South aisle, the Bifrons Chapel, was rebuilt in the 15th century. The north aisle was added in 1824. The chancel was drastically restored in 1849 by Mr Marshall of Canterbury and in 1857, the nave, tower and south aisle were restored by Sir George Gilbert Scott.An alien priory cell of Austin canons was founded here circa 1200 when the church and manor was granted to the Priory of Beaulieu, Normandy. In 1258, it was granted to Merton Priory. The estate was sold to Merton, and the priory dissolved, in 1409. There is strong evidence that Patrixbourne was a minster created in a second wave of minster creation in Kent from the 8th to mid-10th centuries.
