Background:
Berwick Church is a Grade 1 listed building. It is built on what may well be a pre-Christian sacred site from which there are magnificent views of the South Downs.
The church is most well known for the extensive 20th Century murals which cover the nave walls, chancel arch, screen and pulpit. These were painted during the Second World War (1940 to 1942) by the Bloomsbury artists, Duncan Grant, Vanessa Bell and Quentin Bell.
