Iconic Church in Chatham, St Mary's Church sits deserted and unused at the top of the hill on Dock Road. Sandwiched between Gun Wharf, the council offices, and Fort Amherst, and right next to Dock Road, one of the main roads into Chatham, it's a strangely quiet and peaceful place. St Mary's was the at centre of Chatham, when Chatham was just a riverside village of a few dozen houses. After hundreds of years of worship there, and having been rebuilt several times, St Mary's closed its doors to its congregation in the early 1970s. St Mary's is one of the oldest buildings in the Medway Towns - parts go back to the Normans, and there has been a place of worship of some sort here since pagan times, long before Bishop Justus was granted land by Ethelbert, King of Kent, and in 604AD built the cathedral along the river at Rochester to practice the "new" religion of Christianity.
