This day long visit to Ramsgate begins at the medieval St Laurence-in-Thanet Church. We will then visit St George the Martyr, 0.7 miles away, which is on Historic England’s Buildings at Risk Register. Ther regeneration project, which is about to start, will be part reordering and part conservation repair of the 1827 building. Finally, we will go to St Augustine’s, Pugin’s building, a further 1.1 miles away.

About the Kent and Surrey Regional Group
The group has run continuously since its foundation in 1994. We aim to hold around 10 to 12 events a year catering for a wide range of interest. Events include visits to buildings undergoing conservation and repair projects to allow members to see conservation in action, buildings and landscapes of historical and architectural interest, and visits to some of south east England’s most significant buildings including behind the scenes tours of Cathedrals, Royal Palaces and major military fortifications.
