St Mary's is Dover's civic church. It is a Saxon/Norman foundation largely rebuilt in 1843 with original arches and columns reinstated

This prominent building in Biggin Street, dating from Saxon times, was built originally by the secular canons of St. Martin Le Grand, but was rebuilt by the Normans. At the Dissolution it was saved from demolition when Henry VIII granted it for use as a parish and civic church. Unfortunately, because of its weak foundations, it was rebuilt in 1843, although its original arches and columns were reinstated. The magnificient tower survived this restoration.
