Britain's What's On Event Guide
Reculver Towers Open House
Heritage Open Day: The towers are open for the first time in many years after an extensive conservation project.
Meet the team to learn more of the history while exploring inside the towers. The imposing twin towers of the medieval church at Reculver dominate the skyline of Herne Bay, acting as a navigation marker for ships at sea. This was the site of one of the earliest Roman forts built against Saxon raids on the 'Saxon Shore'. It later became the site of an Anglo-Saxon monastery before becoming the parish church for Reculver. The tall towers were built in a remodelling of the church in the 12th century.
Much of the site has been lost to coastal erosion, but alongside the twin towers are the ruined remains of the early Roman fort.
Meet the volunteers to learn more and explore the towers!
