Drawing depicting a view of Reculver Church with farmers working in a field in the foreground.
The Church and monastery were founded in 669 on land given by King Egbert. The nave and most of the building, except the two towers (without their spires), were demolished in 1809 by the vicar, after this drawing was made.
