A church in the lea of the Downs
Tucked somewhat magically under the Downs at the end of a lane, this medieval parish church is beautifully located inside a walled churchyard.
Only the thirteenth-century chancel and fifteenth-century tower survive from the medieval parish church. For a while, after E S Prior's new church was built in 1889, the chancel was used as a mortuary chapel.
An elegant early Georgian reredos forms a single composition with the communion rails.
