Join us for a special day of history at Reculver Towers, as local historian Dr David Wright shares insights from his ongoing research into the rich and complex history of the Reculver parish.

Dr Wright, an independent scholar and expert in Kent’s local heritage, is currently writing a comprehensive parish history of Reculver—one of the few places in England whose recorded past stretches back to the Roman fort of Regulbium and the Anglo-Saxon church founded in AD 669.

Drawing on years of study and a deep personal connection to the area, he will be on site on Sat 12 Jul to chat with visitors, answer questions, and offer fascinating context about the site's historical significance.

Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply curious about the stories behind this iconic coastal landmark, this is a unique opportunity to explore Reculver with someone who knows it intimately.

Also, you'll get the chance to meet our friendly volunteers, see the interior of the north tower, enjoy the sea air, and take in the dramatic ruins with fresh perspective.
