This twelfth century church is adjacent to Amberley Castle, the hunting lodge of the medieval bishops of Chichester until the seventeenth century. It has a large Norman chancel arch and early English windows. There are medieval wall paintings and a monumental brass of a local MP who died in 1424. Arthur Rackham, the illustrator, is commemorated in a wall plaque in the churchyard.
