THE REDUNDANT LITTLE CHURCH

Warminghurst - West Sussex



WINNER : SUSSEX-MY LOCALITY/WARMINGHURST GALLERY


The Church of the Holy Sepulchre which was made redundant in 1979.
This isolated church is now cared for by The Churches Conservation Trust, a simple sandstone building built at the end of a lane, near Ashington, in about 1220. Its bell, cast in about 1200, is one of the oldest survivors in Sussex.
Unlike many ancient churches in Sussex, it was not restored in the 19th century, and its interior has been called the finest example in Sussex of how many must have looked before the Victorian restorers. It is now a Grade I listed building for its architectural and historical importance.

So sad in our present Godless age to see such as this.
