Hidden...down lane, across stream, up a bank

This Medieval church is reached down a narrow lane, over a footpath across a stream and up a steep bank, making the journey to reach it part of the adventure. 

Externally, the church is a patchwork of lichens on brick, stone and flint completing an idyllic rural picture. Inside, the church is as lovely as its rural setting, furnished with handsome box pews with attractive colonnaded tops.

There is a lovely stained glass east window by the Kempe Studio (1884).

    A spetacular setting overlooking a chalk stream which when we visited was flanked by daffodils. With the connection to William the Conqueror through his standard bearer at Hastings this is a must see church.

Keyholder

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.

Facilities

Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
