Reculver Towers, Kent, c1890-c1910. The remains of the west facade of St Mary's church stands on the cliff at Reculver. The original 7th century church was built on the site of an abandoned fort. In 1809 most of the church was pulled down, but the 12th century towers, known locally as the 'twin sisters', were retained as a navigational aid. When the original spires were destroyed by a storm c1819, they were replaced with similar shaped, open structures containing weather vanes (they were removed c1930).
