![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a7/Chichester_Cathedral_epodkopaev.jpg/300px-Chichester_Cathedral_epodkopaev.jpg)
There are more than 130 places of worship in the district of Chichester in the English county of West Sussex. Various Christian denominations are served, and there is also a large Buddhist monastery in Chithurst, one of the small villages which make up the largely rural area. The ancient city of Chichester, founded in Roman times and always the most populous settlement in the district, has been a centre of Christian worship since 1075, when its cathedral was built. However, nearby Selsey had its own cathedral 400 years earlier: Saint Wilfrid established an episcopal see there and used it as a base from which to convert Sussex to Christianity. Coastal erosion forced the bishopric to move inland to Chichester, and it has been the centre of the Anglican Diocese of Chichester ever since.
The majority of the district's residents identify themselves as Christian, and most villages have churches. These include tiny villages, such as Coates (whose church has been described as "enchanting and toy-like"),[1] Didling (whose church remains oil-lit)[2] and the Mardens, four scattered farming communities.[3] Churches that are still in use for public worship can also be found in the grounds of private country estates, as at Burton Park and Stansted Park. The most numerous churches are Anglican churches serving the Church of England, the country's Established Church, though many other denominations are represented. Roman Catholicism, historically strong in West Sussex,[4] has several churches for its adherents; Evangelical and Free Churches are found in the main settlements and in small villages; Methodists, Baptists and members of the United Reformed Church each have several churches; and smaller denominations such as the Assemblies of God, Christian Scientists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Quakers and Latter-day Saints (Mormons) have places of worship in the city of Chichester.
English Heritage has awarded listed status to 84 current church buildings in the district. A building is defined as "listed" when it is placed on a statutory register of buildings of "special architectural or historic interest" in accordance with the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.[5] The Department for Culture, Media and Sport, a Government department, is responsible for this; English Heritage, a non-departmental public body, acts as an agency of the department to administer the process and advise the department on relevant issues.[6] There are three grades of listing status: Grade I, the highest, is defined as being of "exceptional interest"; Grade II* is used for "particularly important buildings of more than special interest"; and Grade II, the lowest, is used for buildings of "special interest".[7] As of February 2021[update], there were 80 buildings with Grade I status, 114 with Grade II* status and 3,057 with Grade II status in the district.[8]
Overview of the district and its places of worship
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0e/Chichester_UK_locator_map.svg/220px-Chichester_UK_locator_map.svg.png)
The district of Chichester covers about 300 square miles (780 km2)[9] and takes up most of the western half of West Sussex. Clockwise from the south, it has a coastline on the English Channel, then is bordered by the borough of Havant and the district of East Hampshire in the county of Hampshire; the borough of Waverley in the county of Surrey; and the districts of Horsham and Arun in West Sussex.[10] The estimated population in 2009 was 112,600.[11] The district's largest centre of population is the city of Chichester, with 23,731 residents at the time of the 2001 Census. Otherwise, small towns, villages and hamlets characterise the area; the civil parishes of Midhurst (4,889 residents), Petworth (2,775), Selsey (9,875) and Southbourne (6,001) are the next most populous places.[12]
There are many ancient churches serving followers of the Church of England, the country's state religion. At Bosham, the church has 8th-century origins,[13] and many churches in the Manhood Peninsula area around Selsey reflect its historic importance as the base from which St Wilfrid evangelised the Kingdom of the South Saxons, as Sussex was historically known.[14] Many were built to a large scale—such as the former priory churches at Boxgrove[15] and Easebourne,[16] now reduced in size—but the remote downland villages that characterise the area often have tiny, simple churches that have seen little alteration since the 11th or 12th century.[17] Single-cell (nave and chancel in one room) or two-cell (nave and chancel separated by a chancel arch, with no aisles) layouts are common:[18] Didling,[19] East Marden,[20] North Marden (with its rare apsidal end)[21] and Terwick[22] are examples.
Demolition of ancient churches in favour of new buildings was uncommon in this part of Sussex, but this happened at Duncton (at the request of a local nobleman)[23] and at Hunston, where the medieval building was ruinous.[24] More common was the restoration and reconstruction of buildings during the Victorian era, sometimes drastically. Bignor, Eartham, Fernhurst, Fishbourne and Graffham are among the villages whose churches were transformed in the mid- to late 19th century.[25] Gordon Macdonald Hills, who conducted "particularly damaging restorations" at more than 30 Sussex churches,[26] was active at several places in Chichester district, including Birdham, East Lavant, Westhampnett and West Itchenor.[27]

More churchbuilding took place in the 19th century in the growing city of Chichester (the expansive St Paul's and several others now closed)[28] and in large parishes which had a single parish church but several centres of population. Residents of Plaistow and Loxwood no longer had to worship at Kirdford or Wisborough Green after churches were built in 1851[29] and 1900 respectively;[30] Camelsdale gained a chapel of ease to Fernhurst in 1906;[31] and Southbourne parish was carved out of Westbourne in 1878 after a church was built in the village two years earlier.[32] Mission halls and chapels of ease continued to be provided throughout the 20th century to meet population growth: brick-built church halls which could also be used for worship were put up near Bosham[33] and Nutbourne railway stations (the latter replaced an older mission hall in nearby Hambrook),[34] and a similar building was erected for residents of the Summersdale area of Chichester in the 1930s.[35] Woodmancote in Westbourne parish is served by a prefabricated tin tabernacle of a type that is now rare in England,[36] and in Graffham village centre is a hall that is used for some Sunday evening services by the clergy of the parish church.[37]
Roman Catholicism was historically stronger in West Sussex than in East Sussex,[4] supported by wealthy landowners such as the Biddulph family of Duncton (who maintained a Mass Centre at their house, Burton Park, from the 17th century)[38] and Charles Willcock Dawes of Petworth, who left £15,000 (£2,190,000 in 2024 pounds))[39] for a church to be built there in his memory in 1896.[40] Chichester had one by 1855 and Midhurst by 1869; both have been replaced by large postwar buildings of bold modern design.[41][42] St Richard of Chichester's Church in Chichester city controls two churches in nearby Bosham and East Wittering.[43]
In contrast, Protestant Nonconformism in its various forms has fewer adherents than are found in the east of the county, and many Methodist, Baptist and other chapels have been closed. The sale of several chapels in Chichester city enabled Methodists and United Reformed Church adherents to join forces and open a small red-brick church together in 1982;[44][45] and Baptist worship in the city has a continuous history going back more than 300 years, now maintained in a postwar building in the suburbs.[45] Strict Baptists, whose chapels are much more prevalent in East Sussex, have a 200-year-old place of worship in the city,[44] and the present Baptist church at Westbourne is the successor to an old chapel serving that sect.[46]
The reuse of old chapels by new congregations is common: former Congregational chapels at East Dean[47] and Kirdford[48] are now in use by Evangelical groups, as is the 18th-century Zoar Strict Baptist Chapel at Wisborough Green[46] and the former Society of Dependants' (Cokelers') meeting room in Loxwood, the historic centre of that tiny sect.[30] The former chapel of Graylingwell Hospital in Chichester stood empty until 2010, when a newly formed Anglican church moved in.[49] At Chithurst, an old mansion was converted into the Cittaviveka Buddhist Monastery.[50]
Religious affiliation
According to the United Kingdom Census 2001, 106,450 people lived in Chichester district. Of these, 77.28% identified themselves as Christian, 0.29% were Buddhist, 0.26% were Muslim, 0.17% were Jewish, 0.09% were Hindu, 0.02% were Sikh, 0.46% followed another religion, 14.24% claimed no religious affiliation and 7.2% did not state their religion. The proportion of Christians was much higher than the 71.74% in England as a whole, other religions not listed in the Census were also followed by more people than average, and the proportion of Buddhists was slightly higher than in England overall (0.29% against 0.28%). The proportion of people with no religious affiliation was lower than the national figure of 14.59%, and adherents of Islam, Hinduism, Judaism and Sikhism were much less prevalent in the district than in England overall: in 2001, 3.1% of people in England were Muslim, 1.11% were Hindu, 0.67% were Sikh and 0.52% were Jewish.[51]
Administration
Anglican churches
All Anglican churches in the district are part of the Diocese of Chichester, whose cathedral is in Chichester city.[52] Three Archdeaconries make up the next highest level of administration; churches in Chichester district are in either the Chichester Archdeaconry or the Horsham Archdeaconry.[53]
The Chichester archdeaconry is divided into five rural deaneries.[53] The church at Eartham is in the Arundel and Bognor Deanery;[54] those at Apuldram, Birdham, Boxgrove, Donnington, Earnley, East Lavant, East Wittering, Fishbourne, Hunston, Mid Lavant, North Mundham, Oving, Selsey, Sidlesham, Tangmere, West Itchenor, West Wittering and Westhampnett are in the Chichester Deanery. The four churches in Chichester city—St George's, St Pancras', St Paul's and St Wilfrid's—are also in this deanery,[55] but the Cathedral is part of its own extra-parochial area.[56]
Horsham archdeaconry has eight rural deaneries.[53] Bepton, Camelsdale, Chithurst, Cocking, Didling, Easebourne, Elsted, Fernhurst, Hammer, Heyshott, Iping, Linch (Woodmansgreen), Linchmere, Lodsworth, Midhurst, Milland, Rogate, Selham, South Harting, Stedham, Terwick, Trotton and Woolbeding churches are part of the Midhurst Deanery.[57] Petworth Deanery covers the churches at Barlavington, Bignor, Burton Park, Bury, Coates, Duncton, Ebernoe, Egdean, Fittleworth, Graffham, Kirdford, Lurgashall, Northchapel, Petworth, Plaistow, Stopham, Sutton, Tillington, Upwaltham, Wisborough Green and Woolavington.[58] The two churches at Bosham (Holy Trinity and the St Nicholas' Church Hall at Broadbridge), and those at Chidham, Compton, East Dean, East Marden, Forestside, Funtington, North Marden, Nutbourne, Racton, Sennicotts, Singleton, Southbourne, Stansted, Stoughton, Up Marden, Westbourne, West Dean, West Stoke, West Thorney and Woodmancote, are covered by the Westbourne Deanery.[59]
Roman Catholic churches
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Arundel and Brighton, whose cathedral is at Arundel,[60] administers the District of Chichester's Roman Catholic churches. All seven—at Bosham, Chichester, Duncton, East Wittering, Midhurst, Petworth and Selsey—are in the Cathedral Deanery, one of 13 deaneries in the diocese.[61] Selsey,[62] Bosham and East Wittering churches are served by priests from Chichester,[43] and Duncton's is served from Petworth.[63]
Other denominations
The Southern Synod, one of 13 synods of the United Reformed Church in the United Kingdom,[64] administers Chichester district's three United Reformed churches, at Chichester,[65] East Wittering[66] and Petworth.[67] Since September 2007, they have also been part of the South West Sussex United Area—an ecumenical partnership with the Methodist Church.[68] There are ten churches in this group: four United Reformed, five Methodist, and Christ Church at Chichester, which serves both denominations.[69] Selsey Methodist Church is also in the United Area;[70] the district's other Methodist church, at Midhurst, is part of the seven-church Petersfield, Liphook & Haslemere Circuit, one of 24 circuits in the Southampton District.[71][72]
Chichester Baptist Church is administratively part of the West Sussex Network of the South Eastern Baptist Association.[73] Westbourne Baptist Church, on the Hampshire border, comes under the Southern Counties Baptist Association.[74]
The Tustin Memorial Chapel at Kirdford, East Dean Free Church, Milland Evangelical Church, Southbourne Free Church[note 1] and the East Beach Evangelical Church at Selsey are members of Affinity (formerly the British Evangelical Council), a network of conservative Evangelical congregations throughout Great Britain.[75][76][77] 3 Counties Vineyard (formerly Three Counties Church) at Hammer is a member of the Vineyard Churches UK and Ireland body, which belongs to the Association of Vineyard Churches.[78]
Harting Congregational Church[79] is part of the Congregational Federation, an association of independent Congregational churches in Great Britain. The federation came into existence in 1972 when the Congregational Church in England and Wales merged with several other denominations to form the United Reformed Church. Certain congregations wanted to remain independent of this, and instead joined the Congregational Federation.[80] As of January 2021[update], there were 235 churches in the Federation.[81]

Anglican | I | A flint and Caen stone building of the 13th century with few houses nearby, this harbourside church was once served from Bosham. Lacy Ridge added a "fussy" tiled bell-turret in 1877. Parts of the nave are 12th-century, and no chancel arch divides it from the chancel. | [83][84] [82][85] [86] |
St Mary's Church | ![]() |
Barlavington 50°56′09″N 0°37′04″W / 50.9357°N 0.6178°W |

St Mary's Church | ![]() |
Bepton 50°57′28″N 0°47′02″W / 50.9577°N 0.7838°W |
Anglican | I | Work began in 1182 on this Norman church, whose broad, stubby tower appears misaligned. It was heavily buttressed in 1620. The churchyard has a mass grave for Black Death victims. | [90][91] [92][93] [94] |
Holy Cross Church | ![]() |
Bignor 50°55′23″N 0°36′13″W / 50.9231°N 0.6036°W |

St James's Church | ![]() |
Birdham 50°47′48″N 0°49′57″W / 50.7966°N 0.8326°W |
Anglican | I | G.M. Hills' "terrifyingly harsh" (to Pevsner) restoration of 1882 renewed the chancel but left its arch untouched; this is early-14th-century and has intricate mouldings. The ancient tower has a 14th-century bell. The walls are ragstone. | [97][98] [99][100] [101] |
Holy Trinity Church | Bosham 50°49′44″N 0°51′34″W / 50.8289°N 0.8594°W |

Anglican | I | This is the former church of Boxgrove Priory, founded from Normandy in 1117; it has been adapted as a parish church for the tiny village. The outline survives of a former nave, demolished in 1220. The "truly magnificent" 13th-century chancel approaches Chichester Cathedral's in importance according to Pevsner. | [15][110] [111][112] [113] |

Chichester 50°50′10″N 0°46′51″W / 50.8362°N 0.7809°W |
Anglican | I | The episcopal see moved here from Selsey in 1070, work began on the cathedral in 1091 under Ralph de Luffa, and the building was consecrated in 1184. Construction work was affected by fires in 1114 and 1187. Isle of Wight limestone and Caen stone are the main materials, and the style is Romanesque. The tall spire collapsed in 1861 but was rebuilt. | [123][124] [125] |
St Pancras' Church | ![]() |
Chichester 50°50′11″N 0°46′25″W / 50.8365°N 0.7736°W |
Anglican | II | The present church dates from 1751: a 13th-century predecessor serving Chichester's highly developed eastern quarter was wrecked during the English Civil War. William Ride's "demure" flint-built Gothic Revival structure was altered by G.M. Hills in 1868. | [28][126] [44][127] [128] |
St Paul's Church | Chichester 50°50′29″N 0°46′47″W / 50.8415°N 0.7796°W |

Coates 50°57′04″N 0°34′53″W / 50.9511°N 0.5814°W |
Anglican | I | This small, isolated 12th-century church is surrounded by trees. It was reordered in the 13th century and again in 1907, but many Norman features remain, including a window in the south wall. | [175][176] [177] |
St Catherine of Siena Church | Cocking 50°57′01″N 0°44′57″W / 50.9504°N 0.7492°W |
Anglican | I | There are traces of 11th-century work in this two-cell church in the main-road village of Cocking, but the tower is three centuries later and "careful" restoration work in 1865 and 1896 made more changes. The low chancel arch is original. | [176][178] [179][180] | |
St Mary's Church | Compton 50°55′38″N 0°53′41″W / 50.9272°N 0.8947°W |
Anglican | II* | Nothing remains of the Domesday-era church here; some internal features are 12th-century, such as the pointed chancel arch, and 13th-century additions are evident. The flint exterior was restored in 1849. There is a wooden bell-turret topped with a spire and containing two old bells. | [181][182] [183] | |
St Andrew's Church | Didling 50°57′23″N 0°48′45″W / 50.9565°N 0.8124°W |
Anglican | I | In a "grand situation" well away from the tiny village stands this modest, unrestored 13th-century single-cell aisleless chapel with an end bellcote. The pews—more like crude benches—may be as old as the church itself, and oil-lamps and candles still light the interior. | [19][184] [185][186] [187] | |
St George's Church | Donnington 50°48′48″N 0°47′30″W / 50.8132°N 0.7916°W |
Anglican | I | The 13th-century church, augmented by a Victorian restoration, was gutted by fire in 1939; Frederick Etchells restored it to its former appearance. The plain battlemented tower, oddly placed at the southwest corner, is 16th-century. | [188][189] [190][191] | |
Holy Trinity Church | Duncton 50°56′57″N 0°38′01″W / 50.9492°N 0.6337°W |
Anglican | II | An old church dedicated to St Mary was demolished in favour of this replacement. George Wyndham, 1st Baron Leconfield was involved in its construction, which took place in 1866. The stone Decorated Gothic Revival building has a spire-topped tower. | [23][192] [193][194] | |
St Anthony and St George's Church | ![]() |
Duncton 50°57′03″N 0°37′52″W / 50.9508°N 0.6311°W |
Roman Catholic | II | Gilbert Blount designed this in a "fussily attractive" Early English Gothic Revival style for the Biddulph family, who funded it. It has an apsidal end and a prominent bellcote. The inside is galleried. Built in 1868 for £5,000, it is set in a walled graveyard. It was Grade II-listed in April 2015. | [23][192] [38][195] [196] |
Earnley Church | Earnley 50°45′59″N 0°50′39″W / 50.7663°N 0.8441°W |
Anglican | II* | This 13th-century two-cell building is extremely plain inside and out; the only exterior detail is a bell-turret. The body of the chancel is mostly 14th-century. The nave lacks aisles. | [197][198] [199] | |
St Margaret's Church | Eartham 50°52′34″N 0°40′02″W / 50.8761°N 0.6673°W |
Anglican | I | Pevsner condemned the restoration work of 1869, which transformed the exterior, as "terrible". Much Norman work remains inside, though: for example, the nave is almost completely 12th-century, and the chancel arch (with carvings including a rabbit) may be older still. | [199][200] [201][202] | |
St Mary's Church | Easebourne 50°59′43″N 0°43′34″W / 50.9952°N 0.7260°W |
Anglican | I | Arthur Blomfield restored and altered the church, which was originally used by nuns from neighbouring Easebourne Priory, in 1876. The simple tower is 12th-century and retains its original form. Herringbone masonry in the nave wall is a century older. | [16][203] [204][205] | |
All Saints Church | East Dean 50°54′40″N 0°42′49″W / 50.9112°N 0.7137°W |
Anglican | I | A Saxon church probably existed on this prominent hilltop site, but the present cruciform building, with its prominent battlemented square tower, is mostly 12th-century. The large church was modernised and altered in 1870. The font is original. | [206][207] [208][209] [210] | |
East Dean Free Church | East Dean 50°54′31″N 0°42′58″W / 50.9085°N 0.7162°W |
Evangelical | – | Congregational worship here began in a house in 1872, and in 1904 this Early English Gothic Revival style stuccoed roughcast chapel was provided. In 1967, it became an Evangelical chapel aligned with the FIEC. | [47][211] | |
St Mary's Church | East Lavant 50°52′10″N 0°46′35″W / 50.8695°N 0.7765°W |
Anglican | I | G.M. Hills' heavy restoration of 1863 did not obscure all the original 12th-century work. There is a long north aisle with a vestry attached, and a second vestry adjoins the stark brick-built tower of 1671. One 13th-century lancet window survives. | [212][213] [214][215] [216] | |

East Marden 50°55′32″N 0°51′09″W / 50.9255°N 0.8526°W |
Anglican | I | This single-cell stone building has a Victorian vestry on one side, a 17th-century porch on the other and a great deal of 13th-century work. The layout may be a century older, as at nearby North Marden. | [20][217] [218][219] |
St Anne's Church | East Wittering 50°46′10″N 0°52′12″W / 50.7695°N 0.8701°W |

St Peter's Church | East Wittering 50°46′16″N 0°52′09″W / 50.7712°N 0.8693°W |
Roman Catholic | – | Built in 1938, extended later and moved from the parish of Chichester into Selsey, this brick-built church with a prominent gabled porch now has its own parish. Gabriel Loire provided dalle de verre stained glass in 1963. The altar is of Italian travertine. | [221][222] [223] | |
Oakfield Avenue Chapel | East Wittering 50°46′02″N 0°52′09″W / 50.7673°N 0.8691°W |
United Reformed Church | – | A timber church was built in the 1960s in the village centre. By 2003, permission was granted for a replacement, and in 2007–08 a timber-framed replacement was erected from a kit. The rebuilding project cost £320,000. | [224][225] | |

Ebernoe 51°02′29″N 0°36′36″W / 51.0415°N 0.6099°W |
Anglican | II | M.E. Habershon and E.P.L. Brock designed a "tiny box-of-bricks chapel" in 1865–68 for this isolated hamlet in the Weald. Red and yellow brick, stone and some intricate timberwork (to the porch) are the main materials. | [220][226] [227][228] |
St Bartholomew's Church | Egdean 50°58′18″N 0°34′56″W / 50.9717°N 0.5821°W |
Anglican | II* | There are few 17th-century churches in Sussex; this was built in 1622 to replace an ancient ruined chapel. Brick began to be used as a building material at this time, and much is used here, outside and in. Some Victorian restoration took place. | [229][230] [231] | |
St Paul's Church | Elsted 50°58′18″N 0°50′21″W / 50.9717°N 0.8391°W |
Anglican | II* | J.E.M. Macgregor restored this ancient church in 1951 under the guidance of SPAB. It had declined to near-dereliction, especially after a tree crushed the nave in 1893. This part of the church was 11th-century and consisted mostly of herringbone masonry. | [220][232] [233][234] [235] | |
St Margaret of Antioch's Church | Fernhurst 51°02′56″N 0°43′08″W / 51.0489°N 0.7190°W |
Anglican | II | Henry Woodyer added an aisle in 1859 to the 12th-century church, and Anthony Salvin (late in his career) undertook a thorough renovation 22 years later. Some ancient windows remain in the Early English Gothic building. | [31][236] [237][238] | |
Brethren Meeting Room | Fernhurst 51°03′03″N 0°43′07″W / 51.0509°N 0.7185°W |
Exclusive Brethren | – | Exclusive Brethren worshipped at a chapel in Chapel Street in Fernhurst village, which was in use from before 1958 until the cancellation of its registration as a place of worship in 1989. It was succeeded by this meeting room on a new site in Old Glebe, which was registered for marriages in August 1994. | [239][240] [241][242] | |
St Peter and St Mary's Church | Fishbourne 50°50′01″N 0°48′19″W / 50.8336°N 0.8052°W |
Anglican | II | There were two 19th-century restorations at this medieval Early English Gothic church, both of which retained the main features of its chancel. George Draper added a porch and other elements in 1821, and another architect rebuilt the aisle and nave in 1847. | [237][243] [244][245] | |
St Mary's Church | Fittleworth 50°57′51″N 0°33′51″W / 50.9642°N 0.5642°W |
Anglican | I | The present nave (by Henry Woodyer) dates from 1871; its predecessor was structurally unsound. The chancel and broach spire-topped tower which flank it are original, though—they are of 13th-century Early English Gothic design. | [246][247] [248] | |
Fittleworth Evangelical Free Church | Fittleworth 50°57′43″N 0°33′42″W / 50.9620°N 0.5617°W |

Funtington 50°52′03″N 0°51′49″W / 50.8674°N 0.8635°W |
Anglican | II* | The present appearance dates from a drastic restoration of 1859, attributed to Samuel Sanders Teulon, but the core is 13th-century with a 14th-century side chapel and a castellated 15th-century tower. | [254][255] [256] |
All Saints Chapel | Graffham 50°57′10″N 0°40′36″W / 50.9528°N 0.6768°W |

Anglican | II* | Bishop Samuel Wilberforce was commemorated by G.E. Street's complete rebuilding of this village church, which took place over a 13-year period from 1874. Some Early English Gothic-style 12th- and 13th-century work survives, such as the arcades to the nave. | [257][258] [259][260] [261] |
3 Counties Vineyard | Hammer 51°04′57″N 0°45′07″W / 51.0824°N 0.7519°W |
Vineyard Churches | – | John Grover designed this chapel in 1903 for Independent Congregational worshippers; he built another two just across the Surrey border. It is of red brick and has a hall underneath. The Milland Evangelical Church opened a church plant in the building in 1966. Until September 2021 it was an independent Evangelical church named Three Counties Church; at that time the name was changed and the congregation became affiliated with the Vineyard Churches UK and Ireland body. | [78][262] [263][264] [265] | |
New Life Christian Church | Hermitage, Southbourne 50°50′33″N 0°55′36″W / 50.8424°N 0.9268°W |

Anglican | II* | Villager Richard Cobden worshipped here and is commemorated by a plaque inside. The 13th-century structure and 19th-century alterations are set off by a "surprisingly elaborate Perpendicular south window" which reminded Nikolaus Pevsner of those in East Anglian churches. | [267][268] [269][270] | |
St Leodegar's Church | Hunston 50°48′23″N 0°46′27″W / 50.8065°N 0.7742°W |

St Mary's Church | Iping 51°00′00″N 0°47′12″W / 50.9999°N 0.7867°W |
Anglican | II | The medieval church had a nave and chancel. Thomas Greenshields rebuilt it in 1840 with a prominent tower, but E.P.L. Brock completely overhauled it again in 1885–86 in the Early English/Decorated Gothic Revival style using sandstone. | [275][276] [48][277] | |

Kirdford 51°01′44″N 0°32′58″W / 51.0288°N 0.5494°W |
Anglican | I | The parish that for centuries was West Sussex's largest had this 12th-century Bargate and Horsham Stone church at its heart. Many fittings were made from locally quarried Sussex Marble—an important industry in Kirdford. The church was extended in the 13th and 15th centuries, when the tall tower was added. | [278][279] [280] |

Linchmere[note 3] 51°04′15″N 0°45′36″W / 51.0709°N 0.7600°W |
Anglican | II* | The elevated position at the boundary of three counties gives views across Surrey, Hampshire and West Sussex from this 12th-century building's churchyard. There is no chancel arch inside, and the sandstone building has a small tower and porches to both sides. It was rebuilt in 1856. | [283][284] [285][286] |
St Peter's Church | Lodsworth 50°59′48″N 0°40′29″W / 50.9968°N 0.6747°W |
Anglican | II* | The nave and chancel may date from the 11th century. A tower was added in the 14th century, and Victorian restoration altered the building in a neo-Norman and Gothic Revival fashion. Transepts and aisles were also added. Sandstone is the main material. | [287][288] [289][290] [291] | |

Lurgashall 51°02′14″N 0°39′48″W / 51.0373°N 0.6634°W |
Anglican | II* | The mostly 13th-century structure of this church, in the centre of its "picture-postcard village", contains some older Norman work. The tower, unusually at the southeast end, is 14th-century; a wooden spire was added later, but was removed in the 1950s and subsequently replaced with a shingled one. The chancel is dated 1731. The timber lean-to aisle attached to the nave is 16th-century and was originally a school. | [298][299] [300][301] |

Northchapel 51°03′22″N 0°38′34″W / 51.0561°N 0.6428°W |
Anglican | II | The original church apparently dates from about 1820, and the stone-built tower survives, but the present building is attributable to Anthony Salvin's reconstruction of 1877. It is in the Early English Gothic Revival style. The Sussex Marble font is 17th-century. | [326][327] [328] |
St Wilfrid's Church | Nutbourne 50°50′38″N 0°52′55″W / 50.8439°N 0.8820°W |

St Mary's Church | Petworth 50°59′16″N 0°36′35″W / 50.9879°N 0.6097°W |
Anglican | I | Architecturally an "exasperating puzzle" to Pevsner, regular rebuildings and additions (by Charles Barry, Seely & Paget and others) have hidden its 13th-century origins. The chancel retains some work of this era, though. | [335][336] | |
Church of the Sacred Heart | Petworth 50°59′10″N 0°36′23″W / 50.9861°N 0.6065°W |

St Mary's Church | ![]() |
Sennicotts 50°51′28″N 0°49′00″W / 50.8577°N 0.8167°W |
Anglican | II | Also described as St Mary's Chapel, this was designed and built by George Draper in 1829 for Charles Baker, a resident of Sennicotts in Funtington parish, who had disagreements with the incumbent at Funtington and wished to worship in his own chapel. It later passed out of his family and was opened for public worship as a chapel of ease. Behind the battlemented tower is a plain chancel and nave, all built of flint and stone. | [254][365] [374][375] |
St Mary's Church | Sidlesham 50°47′04″N 0°47′15″W / 50.7844°N 0.7875°W |
Anglican | I | A "barnlike" stone church in a harbourside location, this has a 16th-century tower and was greatly restored in the 17th century. It is t-shaped due to the removal at that time of the chancel. | [376][377] [378] | |
Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary | Singleton 50°54′36″N 0°45′09″W / 50.9101°N 0.7525°W |
Anglican | I | An important Saxon centre, Singleton had a large church at that time, and some work survives from that era-such as the very tall nave walls. The appearance is mostly Early English Gothic, though; much work is 15th-century. | [379][380] [381][382] [383] | |
St Mary and St Gabriel's Church | South Harting 50°58′08″N 0°53′05″W / 50.9688°N 0.8846°W |
Anglican | I | This large parish has a big, prominently sited church—the largest for miles around. The oldest parts are early-14th-century; there is an aisled nave, chancel, ruined side chapel, vestry and two transepts, giving a cruciform shape. The green copper spire is a landmark. | [384][385] [386][387] [388] | |
Harting Congregational Church | South Harting 50°58′13″N 0°53′00″W / 50.9704°N 0.8833°W |
Congregational Federation | – | Built by Portsmouth-based G. Jenkins in 1871, possibly as a replacement chapel for an existing congregation, this "minimal Gothic Revival" brick and stone building has a small spire on its gable. | [79][384] [389][390] [391] | |

Anglican | – | Southbourne was in Westbourne parish until 1878. T. Chatfield Clark's Early English Gothic Revival church, with a corner tower, a tall spire and transepts, was completed two years earlier. It was built entirely of stone. | [392][393] [32] | |
Southbourne Free Church | Southbourne 50°50′49″N 0°54′39″W / 50.8469°N 0.9109°W |

St Paul's Church | ![]() |
Stansted Park 50°53′10″N 0°55′16″W / 50.8861°N 0.9210°W |
Anglican | I | This was converted from the ruins of a late-15th-century house by Lewis Way in 1815–18, giving it a "disarming" appearance. Harry Stuart Goodhart-Rendel restored it in 1926 and again after wartime damage. There are high-quality wooden fittings and stained glass. | [252][253] [251][396] [397] |
St James's Church | ![]() |
Stedham 50°59′47″N 0°46′13″W / 50.9963°N 0.7704°W |
Anglican | II | Joseph Butler replaced the mid-11th-century church in this village with a new Gothic Revival building in 1850. The tower dates from 1673, though, and has bells of various ages and a vestry at the bottom stage. The font may be 12th-century. All windows are lancets. | [252][398] [399][400] |
St Mary the Virgin's Church | Stopham 50°57′39″N 0°32′23″W / 50.9607°N 0.5397°W |
Anglican | I | Started immediately after the Norman conquest, this tall church largely retains its 11th-century appearance. The tower is 17th-century; few were built at this time in Sussex. A former anchorite cell has disappeared. | [401][402] [177][403] | |
St Mary's Church | Stoughton 50°53′53″N 0°51′45″W / 50.8980°N 0.8624°W |
Anglican | I | A simple exterior conceals an unrestored 11th-century interior with some Saxon elements. The stubby tower was originally a transept, but gained its present form in the 14th century. The door is set in a 17th-century brick porch. | [251][404] [405][406] [407] | |
St John the Baptist's Church | ![]() |
Sutton 50°55′52″N 0°36′31″W / 50.9311°N 0.6085°W |
Anglican | I | The 11th-century church has grown over the centuries: the nave was added to in the 12th century, when an aisle was built, the tower was built a century later, and the chancel (with its single transept) is 50 years newer. The tower has a pyramidal spire and narrow windows. | [408][409] [410][411] |
St Andrew's Church | Tangmere 50°50′53″N 0°43′15″W / 50.8480°N 0.7207°W |
Anglican | I | The 12th-century two-cell church has a bell-turret which is supported internally on a sturdy, strongly braced timber frame. The chancel is slightly later than the nave and has wide windows. The south porch is much newer. There are many wartime graves: RAF Tangmere is adjacent. | [411][412] [413][414] [415] | |
St Peter's Church | ![]() |
Terwick 51°00′19″N 0°50′09″W / 51.0052°N 0.8357°W |
Anglican | II* | The nave and chancel are wholly 12th-century at this tiny unrestored church in an isolated location near Rogate. An entrance porch flanked by two rooms was added in the 19th century, though. The rubble and tile church had herringbone masonry at one stage. | [22][416] [417][418] |
All Hallows Church | ![]() |
Tillington 50°59′21″N 0°37′45″W / 50.9893°N 0.6292°W |
Anglican | I | The "improbable" south-side tower, capped with a crown-shaped element and built in 1807 intentionally as a landmark, was added to a medieval church of mostly 13th-century origin. The present appearance is attributable to the 1807 restoration, though. The nave has two aisles, and there is a vestry and a tall porch. | [419][420] [421] |
St George's Church | Trotton 50°59′45″N 0°48′35″W / 50.9959°N 0.8097°W |
Anglican | I | The plain tower dates from 1230, and the rest of the church is early-14th-century. Extensive wall paintings were uncovered in 1904, and a 9-foot (2.7 m) brass memorial in the chancel commemorates Thomas de Camoys, 1st Baron Camoys (d. 1421). There is no chancel arch; a step separates the nave and chancel. | [315][422] [423][424] [425] | |
St Michael's Church | ![]() |
Up Marden 50°55′16″N 0°52′12″W / 50.9210°N 0.8700°W |
Anglican | I | On a high, remote site, this church is almost unchanged since it was erected in the 13th century: the simple two-cell layout and narrow windows had a tower added at the west end in the 14th century, and the chancel arch was replaced in the 16th century because its predecessor was collapsing. | [426][427] [428][429] |
St Mary the Virgin's Church | Upwaltham 50°54′59″N 0°39′35″W / 50.9165°N 0.6598°W |
Anglican | I | The long nave and short, apsidal chancel are 12th-century and have had no restoration; a 13th-century chancel arch separates them. The king post roof may be original as well. An intricately carved piscina adds "a tiny touch of richness". | [430][431] [432][433] [434] | |
St Andrew's Church | West Dean 50°54′24″N 0°46′34″W / 50.9066°N 0.7761°W |
Anglican | II* | Richard Lewknor MP is commemorated in this 11th- and 13th-century church, whose present appearance dates from 1934 due to restoration after fire damage. The Lewknor memorial is Classical in style and has three effigies. The long nave has a tower at the west end. | [435][436] [437][438] [439] | |
St Nicholas' Church | West Itchenor 50°47′59″N 0°51′59″W / 50.7998°N 0.8665°W |
Anglican | I | This single-cell flint church next to Chichester Harbour has a spire-topped shingle-clad bell-turret at one end. Victorian restoration affected the overall appearance; a new roof and porch were also added. | [440][441] [442][443] | |
St Andrew's Church | ![]() |
West Stoke 50°52′20″N 0°49′36″W / 50.8722°N 0.8268°W |
Anglican | I | West Stoke manor house is adjacent to this 11th-century church, whose nave dates from that era. The narrower chancel is 13th-century Early English Gothic, and the chancel arch was altered in the Victorian era. The medieval detail is simple and not ornate. | [444][445] [446][447] |
St Nicholas' Church | West Thorney 50°49′00″N 0°54′31″W / 50.8166°N 0.9085°W |
Anglican | I | Lying at the end of the Thorney Island peninsula beyond an RAF Coastal Command airfield, this 12th- and 13th-century church (possibly originally a single-cell building) is very isolated but remains open. There were once two aisles, but both have been demolished. | [448][449] [450] | |
St Peter and St Paul's Church | West Wittering 50°46′48″N 0°53′57″W / 50.7800°N 0.8993°W |
Anglican | I | The 12th-century nave and slightly later south aisle (separated by a four-bay arcade) lead into a large Lady chapel (contemporary with the aisle) and a short 13th-century chancel. William White restored the church in 1875. | [451][452] [453][454] | |
St John the Baptist's Church | Westbourne 50°51′37″N 0°55′40″W / 50.8604°N 0.9278°W |
Anglican | I | Perpendicular Gothic churches are rare in Sussex, and this is a large example serving an extensive parish. The vicar was responsible for what Pevsner called a "really unpleasant" restoration in 1865, but late-14th-century work is still visible outside. The tower was altered in the 16th century. | [32][455] [456][457] | |
Westbourne Baptist Church | Westbourne 50°51′51″N 0°55′31″W / 50.8641°N 0.9252°W |

St Peter's Church | Westhampnett 50°50′54″N 0°45′00″W / 50.8484°N 0.7501°W |
Anglican | II* | Victorian restoration in 1867 consisted of extending the south aisle's arcade, replacing the chancel arch, adding a second aisle. Some Saxon work remains in the chancel, but this part of the church is mostly 13th-century. Three former Bishops of Chichester are buried here. | [459][460] [461][462] | |
St Peter ad Vincula Church | Wisborough Green 51°01′21″N 0°30′06″W / 51.0224°N 0.5016°W |
Anglican | I | William Butterfield's restoration of 1867 conceals an older structure with many additions: the nave dates from the 11th and 12th centuries (the west end is the oldest part), the chancel was added in the 13th century, the north aisle is contemporary, one was added on the south side a century later and the entrance porches are 15th-century. The long church has a spire-topped tower. | [463][464] [465][466] [467] | |
Zoar Chapel | Wisborough Green 51°01′21″N 0°30′27″W / 51.0226°N 0.5075°W |
Evangelical | II | A Calvinistic Independent chapel was founded in 1753. The present building—a simple arched-windowed brick chapel half-hidden behind a house, like the Bethel Chapel at Robertsbridge—dates from 1820. The old galleried interior survives. | [46][282] [468][469] [470][471] [472][473] | |
Woodmancote Mission Church | ![]() |
Woodmancote 50°51′44″N 0°54′00″W / 50.8623°N 0.8999°W |
Anglican | – | The hamlet of Woodmancote in Westbourne parish is served by this "modest chapelry"—a rare prefabricated green-painted tin tabernacle with an entrance porch. It was erected in 1892 and licensed in 1928. | [36][474] |
St Luke's Church | ![]() |
Woodmansgreen, Linch 51°02′26″N 0°46′19″W / 51.0406°N 0.7720°W |
Anglican | II | The parish had two churches, both of which were ruined by the 18th century. That near Linch Farm no longer exists, but St Luke's Chapel at Woodmansgreen was rebuilt in 1700 and extended and greatly altered in 1886 by Lacy Ridge. The south door is original, and 15th-century stained glass was installed from another church. | [475][476] [477] |
All Hallows Church | ![]() |
Woolbeding 50°59′48″N 0°45′26″W / 50.9968°N 0.7573°W |
Anglican | I | This church is almost within the grounds of Woolbeding manor house. Its heavily buttressed tower (erected in 1728) has a side entrance porch; beyond is a mostly 11th-century nave. The chancel was rebuilt and lengthened in 1870 for Edward Howard, 1st Baron Lanerton, and a vestry was attached. | [478][479] [480][481] |
