All Saints Church in West Dean is a beautiful small flint and sandstone structure. Parts of it date back to Saxon times although most of the present structure is Norman. The square tower at the west end is covered by a striking gable spire which John Betjeman, in his Guide to English Parish Churches, describes as ‘unique in Sussex’. It has also been likened to a monk’s cowl. The tower contains one bell made by William Hull in 1677.

The oldest parts of the squat All Saint Church of West Dean date from the 9th century. West Dean's oldest buildings can be seen from the entrance of the church. Medieval movies could be shot here.
