For edward Hasted's history of Dover which referes to the castle see 'The town and port of Dover', The History and Topographical Survey of the County of Kent: Volume 9 (1800), pp. 475-548 [http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=63592+ at British History Online]<br>
-The former Saxon church of St Mary-in-Castro was restored in 1860-1862 and again in the 1880's. The original church was heavily restored and stands next to the ancient Roman pharos which became the bell tower to the church. The church serves as parish church and army garrison church.&nbsp; The parish had been established at this time when [[Dover St James the Apostle, Kent]] had ceased to be used and the Second World war destruction of that church and the St James Street district left the Garrison church serving the parish as well.
