Since Dover Castle is a massive place, it has various sections to explore. One of these sections includes a lovely Roman lighthouse and church. The church and lighthouse are fascinating to see and the church is well-maintained. Sometimes, there will be knowledgeable people available to share the history of the church with you.
So, it is said that the church dates back to around 1020 AD. In 1582, the church was repaired and used in the 16th century. The bell was removed in 1724 when the building was in ruins, and it was used as a coal store due to the Napoleonic wars. Around the 19th century, the church was restored. It is said that the lighthouse was used as a bell tower.
