This pretty little church is one of only three in Sussex with a round tower. The building you see today is essentially the nave of a 12th-century church which has kept its round tower but lost its original chancel and aisles. There are two Norman windows, one blocked, and 13th-century wall paintings inside. The clearest of these paintings is on the west wall and depicts Christ in Majesty.

Hiking

A beautiful little church with an old graveyard and flower-garden. There is a water tap specifically for hikers next to the church gate. The village green right in front of the church is an ideal spot for a picnic and has great trees with plenty of shade.
