St Mildred's is the only surviving pre-Norman Conquest church within the City walls of Canterbury, and it has been in continuous use since Saxon Times. Highlights include a beamed roof dating from the 1300s, medieval woodcarvings, a font of 1420 and massive quoin stones, thought to be remnants of Roman Canterbury. In the churchyard is the grave of Alderman James Simmons, mill owner, benefactor, banker, MP and much more, who died in 1807.
