St. Andrew’s Church, Deal
Heritage Open Day: Known as ‘The Boatmen’s Church’, it is built in the Early English style of Kentish ragstone with Caen stone dressings and a tiled roof. The interior is particularly notable for the wooden chancel arch which resembles the upturned prow of a ship. The church was designed by Ambrose Poynter, whose local work includes the Maison Dieu in Dover, for the poverty-stricken boatmen of North Deal as an alternative to St. George’s Church which had become popular with the local gentry. The church was built on the site of the old Deal workhouse, the walls of which still stand. It opened in 1850 and became a parish church in 1867.
