St James Garlickhythe
Church dedicated to the apostle St James - it’s thought a church has stood on Garlick Hill since Anglo-Saxon times. It is first mentioned as the 'ecclesia Sancti Jacobi' in a will dated between 1096 and 1115. The first known Rector was Peter del Gannok in 1259.
Six Lord Mayors were buried in the mediæval church, a sign of its importance. They are now commemorated by plaques on the north wall.
Inside (although not on display) is a preserved mummy of man known as 'Jimmy Garlick'. Discovered in the 1830's the deceased and his origin are a mystery.
