This image shows St. Mary's Church in Leigh, Kent, England. The present parish church building was built in the 13th century, although a church is believed to have stood in a similar position for over a thousand years. It occupies the highest point of the village, overlooking the village green. The church was reconstructed in the 19th century by two architects, George Devey and Charles Baily, who had been employed by the Lay Rector (Lord de Lisle) and the Parish respectively, the two parties being responsible for different parts of the building. The two architects used different types of stone to reconstruct the building.
