| The medieval towers of the ruined church of St Mary are Reculver`s `most dominant features`. They were added in the late 12th century to a church founded in 669, when King Ecgberht of Kent granted land to Bassa the priest for the foundation of a monastery. The church was sited near the centre of the Roman fort, and was built `almost completely from demolished Roman structures`. |
