Dedicated to St Mary the Virgin, Broxted church occupies an ancient Celtic site and the present 12th and 13th century building incorporates a part of a Saxon structure. The whole church was heavily restored in 1876. St Mary’s Church stain glass window project was completed in 1993. It was designed and made to mark the captivity and freedom of the Beirut Hostages as John McCarthy was brought up in Broxted. The Window of Captivity and the Window of Freedom symbolise the hostages’ ordeal.
