Their used to be a church micro cache associated with this church (GC306XG) but sadly it was archived. I have therefore revisited this church and placed a new cache nearby.
The Church dates from the early medieval period: the Nave is 1100, the Tower late 12th century, the Chancel 13th century and the Tower buttresses 15th century.
The medieval church bells are hung in the Tower. The first and smallest bell is inscribed "Sum Rosa Pulsata Mundi Katerina Vocata" (When I am struck I am the Rose of the World and am called Katerina); the second bell is inscribed "Dulcis Sisto Melis Campana Vocor Gabrielis" (I am the honey voiced bell called Gabriel). Both bells were cast probably in the vicinity of the church during the late 14th or early 15th century by William Wodewarde of London. The third and largest bell is said to have been the greatest ever cast by William Hull of Hailsham and has the inscription "William Hull of Hailsham made me in 1685. John Maynard, John Blaskit, Churchwardens".
The church clock was made and installed during the late 19th century by J.W.Benson of Ludgate Hill, London.
Standing looking at the porch look up and left and note the date on the rainwater hopper ABCD
