St Mary's Church in Reculver, United Kingdom, is a historic site with a rich heritage. Originally built in the 7th century, it was part of a monastic settlement established by King Ecgberht of Kent. The church underwent several modifications over the centuries, including significant rebuilding in the 12th century. Notably, the twin towers, known as the "Two Sisters," were added in the late medieval period and served as a navigational aid for mariners. Although much of the church was demolished in the early 19th century to prevent coastal erosion, the towers and some remnants of the structure remain, managed by English Heritage.
