The original St Mary Bredman Church was built some time before 1160; the Registers go back to 1558. It was rebuilt in 1822 and 1882, and mostly demolished in 1900. The memorials in the church (which had no graveyard of its own, burials being made in the churchyard of the neighbouring St Mary Castro) were removed to St Andrew's Church, itself demolished in 1956. Some tombstones were returned and used as flagstones in 1959/60 when a courtyard was made where the old St Mary Bredman had stood. The last wall was demolished in 1959 to make way for Nason's department store adjoining at no. 47 High Street. The Royal East Kent Mounted Rifles War Memorial, with the associated Horse Lines Memorial, a rare example of a memorial to animals killed in war and Grade II Listed, was unveiled opposite Lower Bridge Street in 1922, just a year after the disbanding of the Regiment, and was repositioned in the courtyard in 1960.
