The Parish Church Of St Leonard

Hythe

Kent

Dates from circa 1100.

Architectural Features

The interior has a 4 bay nave and North and South aisles with Cl3 and c14 pillars.

The Ambulatory built circa 1220 AD houses a neatly stacked collection of 1200 skulls and 8000 thigh bones of the C13

c14.

It is thought that these were exhumed from the graveyard in order to make more space for the plague victims of the C14

C15.
