    In the first half of the 16 century, king Henry VIII tried to have our town's church demolished, and it was transformed into a stable, with plans to rip it down.
    Both of Dover's priories were pulled down in that period. Also, the English Queen was beheaded on false charges, and yet she had persuaded Henry VIII to introduce reforms, but not those ripping down and persecution reforms that later came under Thomas Cromwell. She also persuaded the king to stop all persecution of Christians on account of their faith. In fact, people who did not agree with Catholic doctrines were imprisoned and burned.
    This remarkable Queen was betrayed by Thomas Cromwel, who had been favoured by her and made a career owing to her. He then took over and tried to tear down our Saint Mary in the Town Church too.
    But the Dovorians petitioned the king to lay off, and he got down where they told him and didn't dare touch our Church, which became one of Dover's Parish Churches
