Situation
Ivychurch is a small village that lies within the Romney Marsh, an area known for its flat, marshy landscapes and rich agricultural history. The village is situated near the coast, not far from the popular coastal towns of Camber Sands, Rye and Littlestone.

Historically, Ivychurch was primarily an agricultural community, with farming being the main occupation of its residents. The landscape around the village is characterized by fields, marshland, and dykes, which have been shaped by centuries of human activity.

One notable landmark in Ivychurch is the parish church, also called St. George's Church. This church dates back to the 13th century and is known for its distinctive octagonal tower, which is a local landmark visible across the marshes. St. George's Church is built of local Kentish ragstone and features architectural elements from different periods, including Norman, Gothic, and Victorian styles.

In addition to its historical and architectural significance, Ivychurch is also known for its natural beauty and tranquillity. The surrounding countryside offers opportunities for walking, birdwatching, and enjoying the peaceful rural setting.

Today, Ivychurch remains a small, close-knit community with a population of a few hundred residents. While agriculture continues to be important to the local economy, the village also benefits from its proximity to nearby towns and cities, including Ashford and Folkestone, which provide amenities and employment opportunities for residents as well as excellent schooling options in both the state and private sector.
