Description of Archaeology and History
By S. Liddon Walters; the builder was J.W. Woolnough of Eastbourne. The precast foundation stone at the north-east corner was laid on St. George's Day (23 April) 1924, and the church was consecrated on 14 January 1925 by the Bishop of Chichoster. It was paid for by Mrs. M.H. Owen.
Exterior Description
The church is a simple work in a rather domestic style, dominated by the long roof ridge which is at the same height over nave and chancel, the division being marked by the square turret over the crossing which has a pyramidal tiled roof and four uniform windows with trefoiled heads in each face. It is crowned by a pretty weather vane.
The bays of the walls are divided by simple buttresses with stone shoulders and there are four lights in each bay of the nave walls, and in the north and south transept gables. The west wall has five similar lights, as has the east wall of the chancel and the side walls of the chancel have two lights in each of their narrower bays. The four gables have timber framing with plain panels of roughcast between. The south porch stands against the west wall of the transept under a continuation of the roof-slope of the nave. The main entrance is the west door, under a moulded hood of brick, and two brackets in the gable above show where the bell used to hang.
Interior
Interior Description
The interior has exposed brick walls and segmental archos over the windows.
