A large sturdy tower overlooks the valley dividing Kent and Sussex some distance from its village. It dates, as does much of the church, from the fourteenth century. The arcades are of dumpy octagonal pillars which have lancet clerestory windows set into the walls above. There are some notable fragments of medieval glass in the south aisle, together with an excellent twentieth century etched glass window. The tower is flanked by the aisles. The north aisle displays the original entrance to the rood loft staircase. At the west end is a nice octagonal sandstone font with a series of decorated window designs enlivening its paneled sides.
Original Build Date/Architect: Medieval
Restoration: 1875
Will's grandparents are buried in the churchyard and there have been 4 other family weddings there, not to mention numerous christenings.

Looks Beautiful Miriam!! I can't wait to see your photos!
What a cool wedding venue! It's great that Will's family has such a long tradition there, too.

I'll swap you one bell ringer for a harp player...
