St Mary s Church Lower Higham is remote from the village in orchards on the edge of marshes running to the Thames It is a church of much charm and eccentricity with its striped walls of ragstone and knapped flint and a near symmetrical arrangement of two naves and two chancels surmounted by a western shingled spirelet Originally Norman it was remodelled and enlarged in the 14th century perhaps when a priory of Benedictine nuns was established nearby There is some memorable woodwork including a 15th century chancel screen in its original position a 14th century pulpit and a particularly fine south door by the same hand treated like a four light window with much delicate carving and some original ironwork A restoration of 1863 provided most of the furnishings and the glass in the chancel windows St Mary s is now in the care of The Churches Conservation Trust previously known as the Redundant Churches Fund
