Peaceful and quiet, the ruins of this old church is quite spectacular.
Nice views and next to a large lake. Ideal for walks.

Beautiful, with a bit of a mystery, place. You can see the grave where allegedly king Richard III​'s illegitimate son is buried.

This is an old parish church (extant remains are 14th century) which stood in an enormous deer park without any village. Very unusually, it was allowed to fall into such disrepair that the nave roof simply fell in in 1951. The remains were stabilised, but ownership was transferred to the Friends of Friendless Churches in 1980 which has done further repair work. Unfortunately, owing to vandals and Satanists the interior has to be permanently inaccessible to visitors.

A most spectacular opportunity to walk around magnificent surroundings, read the Tombstones some are really informative about the people who lived and worked locally. One of the Stones which next to some trees around the burial site shows signs of wear and tear and when you read the epitaph it will surely make you day, you will possibly want to take a few “Selfies” then please go ahead but I will give one word of warning, leave the site as you found it and please ensure you only leave with Memories.
Karma protects its own, Blessed Be.

An abounded structure of a church. This is a place you either know of it or you find it by accident. I found it by accident and glad I did, in the summer it is amazing to place to come and have some lunch here. There is a private lake close by, so please be considerate. There is some wildlife living close by, there is also a walking route.

Such a mystical, spiritual and tranquil place with abandoned spectacular ruins of very old St Mary's church where you can find the grave where king Richard III​'s illegitimate son was buried.
Located on the grounds of anormous Eastwell park in the hamlet of Eastwell, Kent in England and overlooking beautiful lake without any village near by.
Great walking routes all around to enjoy the wild life and away from noisy traffic.
Little parking place right next to the church.
