EastbridgeEastbridge is, ecclesiastically, in the diocese of Canterbury, in the archdeaconry of Canterbury and in the deanery of North and South Lympne. The church has been ruined since medieval times. Mentioned in the Domesday Book, Eastbridge Church is now in ruins with just the remains of the west tower, the walls of the nave and chancel remaining. It seems to have been a handsome building, and being situated on a small rise, makes a very conspicuous object over the whole of Romney Marsh, having the appearance of a stately well-built tower, with pinnacles at the top of it. It appears to have consisted of one isle and one chancel, and to have been built of the quarry-stone.
