John Newman in Pevsner's volume of "The Buildings of England: West Kent and The Weald" describes All Saints Church "The church is archaeologically of the highest interest and architecturally on a grand scale." The total length of the church is 199 feet and the tower is 132 feet high. The west tower was built in the 1440s by Thomas Stanley, one of the senior masons at Canterbury Cathedral. It can be seen from great distances across Romney Marsh. This was a thoroughly wet day and a street party was due to be held at the same time in the centre of Lydd - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4993169
