St.Thomas a Beckett, Fairfield - a photo on Flickriver

            Fairfield is part of the Church of England parish of Brookland and Fairfield on Walland Marsh (part of Romney Marsh) in the Shepway District of Kent, England. Until 1934 it was a civil parish, but was then absorbed into the civil parish of Snargate.The area lies west of the village of Brookland.
 
The area is most notable for the isolated church of St Thomas a Becket, a Grade I listed building, in the Romney Deanery.

This church was used as a filming location for the 2011 BBC adaption of Great Expectations.

Fairfield lies between Brookland and Brenzett on a minor road in a deserted part of the Walland Marsh . 

The area was won from the sea (inned) sometime between 1200 and 1270. The monks from Canterbury built dykes to the western edge of the Rhee Wall (the sea defenses built by the Romans) and enclosed the land so reclaiming the rich and fertile soil from the sea. 

1287 saw the great storm in which Broomhill was swept away and New Romney barely survived. The Rother changed its course to the sea, and exited the marshes at Rye, whereas before the storm the river found its way to the sea near to modern day Greatstone and Littlestone . 

Fayrefelde existed before 1595 as a map of the time shows the village approximately where the church now sits. It is likely that as the land became more reclaimed so the village sprung up. 

Nowadays all that can be seen is the church lying down from the road embankment which is probably the original inning wall. The church was built as a temporary structure of timber lath and plaster in the 1200's to support the local farming community. The exterior has been strengthened with brick, and in 1913 the whole building was reconstructed and encased to preserve it. 

St Thomas a Beckett at Fairfield is one of those churches supported by the Romney Marsh Historic Churches Trust .
