St. Mary in the Marsh is a small, low-lying village and civil parish on the edge of the Romney Marsh in the district of Folkestone and Hythe, Kent, England. Its landscape is defined by reclaimed marsh, drainage ditches and open skies, and the settlement grew around an ancient parish church whose origins and rural character reflect the long agricultural history of the area.
Life in the parish remains distinctly rural, centred on farming, a tight-knit community and the village hall, while its proximity to the shingle coast and the Dungeness nature reserve draws birdwatchers and walkers. The area’s history - from marshland drainage and coastal trades to quieter modern commuting patterns - gives it a mix of timeless countryside and understated seaside influence.
