St Thomas à Becket Church in Fairfield is arguably the most iconic building on Romney Marsh. It is a beautiful structure that stands alone in a field, surrounded by watercourses and the ever present sheep. Fairfield, the village it once served, has long since disappeared, but the church has survived and is now part of the civil parish which includes the villages of Brookland, Brenzett and Snargate. The church is dedicated to St Thomas à Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1162 until his murder in 1170. The building dates back to the 13th century but, not surprisingly, had to be mainly rebuilt in the 18th century, when the entire timber building was encased within brick walls, and the roof covered with heavy red tiles. The interior is a simple delight, with interior timber-framing, and low timber arches stretching over the nave, while the congregation is catered for via bright white painted, boxed pews. St Thomas is still an active church although services, I think, are only monthly. For obvious reasons re location and sheer beauty however, the church is also used frequently for weddings, and I couldn’t help picturing brides and bridesmaids making their way to the church from the road, and trying desperately to avoid treading in sheep poo on the way!

The chocolate cake is very yummy, and the visitor centre is set in the nature reserve, you can watch the wild birds feeding outside as you eat your lunch. Great prices and super helpful staff. Worth a visit if nearby.

Nice church, lovely to walk around and learn a bit of history. You can see where the water came up to on the pillars in the church, where the water marks are when the great floods and storms came and the harbour of New Romney changed course and went to Rye instead. You can still see the rings on the outside wall around the church in the churchyard, where they used to tie the boats up in the harbour,as the sea used to come up to there. There is a great view across the marsh and out to sea when you go up the tower at the top of the church, stopping off to see the bell tower on the way. The tower is open at certain times in the year, with a £2 donation per person. They also have coffee mornings and book sales throughout the year and it is open for tea cakes and ploughman's lunches at the New Romney county farye day.

Visited to have a lovely drink in the micropub and then went to the indian across the road with my Mum and Nana on my birthday. My Nana had the mango cider and really enjoyed it. I had some of the local beer they had on cask. Good quality local cask beer and a reasonable price. I found the lack of a traditional bar confusing but the server just serves to the table. I think it's cash only and correct change would alway be appreciated.

I visited here recently and fell in love with this pub. Fitted out with a unique decor, this pub is well worth the visit whether it’s to catch up with family & friends, have a meal or to see a live band. The garden is fantastic on a hot summer’s day. Great beer and snacks in a friendly warm atmosphere!!
