The Parish Church Of St Mary Of Charity

Oare

Kent

Cruciform church of C14-C15, restored in the C19.

Architectural Features

This has Doric columns, a triglyph frieze with swags and branches in the metopes and semi-circular openings framing the medieval clerestory windows outside.

The central medieval tower was likewise pulled down in 1797 and an openwork spire of brick built at the west end of the church which was encased in stone in 1855 by George Gilbert Scott who also reworked the nave and transepts [1873-1875].
