St Laurence Telscombe Village Lewes East Sussex BN7 3HZ

Though near the coast and behind the despoiled area between Brighton and Newhaven, Telscombe village has been saved because it is approached from the north across two miles of Downland lane and is thus almost the only village in the area that is not located on or near the estuary of the river Ouse. The church stands on a slope and the proportions of the flint nave and chancel look C11 or C12, though no detail remains. The small south east window of the chancel may have been converted from an older one in the C14 and though the mouldings of the south doorway are C14, its almost round head suggests it too could have been adapted.
