In July the Heating oil tank was damaged and at the moment there is no heating in the church

FAMILY HISTORY

If you are researching your family, the only records held in the Parishes are the burial registers which date back to the late 19th century. Please Email Simon regarding these enquiries and it will be dealt with as soon as possible. If you are planning a trip, especially from abroad, then please Email before you leave home and arrange a visit rather than leaving it to chance and being disappointed.

Other information is held at the Diocesan Records Office, The Maltings, Castle Precincts, Lewes, BN7 1YT ( 01273 482349
