The church
Dating back to 1360, the aptly-named 'Cathedral of
the South Downs' is unique as a village church. St.
Andrew's is set on a small mound by the river and built in the
form of a cross. The central tower and spire dominate the skyline,
with a peal of six bells which are rung from the centre of the
church.

GALLERY
A new Gallery has recently been installed over the
internal porch to the main west door. This was duly
"sung in" by the West Gallery Quire based in Lewes -
Sussex Harmony.
