- 1. St Bartholomew, Albourne, Sussex, England
-
-
Parish church This church, which was virtually rebuilt by George Gilbert Scott in 1859, comprises a nave, a N aisle with a three-bay arcade, and a small, square-ended chancel. While the chancel arch itself is neo-Norman, the W wall of the churchyard incorporates original 12thc. stonework.
- 2. Arundel Castle, Arundel, Sussex, England

-
Castle The motte and bailey castle built at Arundel by Roger of Montgomery, Earl of Shrewsbury, in the late 11thc., would have contained mainly wooden structures, although the stone gatehouse is believed to date from that period. In the second half of the 12thc. (c.1170-1190) the circular shell keep was erected, the curtain walls were strengthened and the domestic quarters extended. The castle was ruined during the Civil War, and was largely rebuilt in the late 19thc. (C A Buckler; 1890-1903). This work included the neo-Norman Postern Gate.
- 3. St Andrew, Bishopstone, Sussex, England
-
-
Parish church The Anglo-Saxon origins of Bishopstone church are visible in the long and short quoining of the nave and S porticus, and two windows in the W wall of the nave. A scratch dial set over the S doorway is also thought to be Anglo-Saxon. It is inscribed: +EADRIC.

Parish church This unusually large but (unfortunately) heavily restored parish church comprises a chancel, central tower, transepts, S vestry and an aisled and clerestoried nave with N and W porches. The earliest part is the central tower (mid-12thc.), with transepts, which were either added or remodelled later in the same century. The nave and chancel date from the 13thc. and the W front was built in 1887.
- 5. St Mary De Haura, New Shoreham, Sussex, England

-
Chapel/Parish church This unusually large parish church comprises an aisled choir, crossing tower, transept, and one nave bay, the remainder of the nave having collapsed in the early 18thc. The church was founded in the late 1120s or 1130s (see History, below), and the crossing tower (except for the upper bell-stage), transepts and nave date from the mid-12thc., as does the font. The first chancel had an apsidal termination, and a campaign to add aisles to its sides was undertaken - but possibly not completed - around 1160. The chancel was rebuilt as a fully-fledged choir, complete with aisles and galleries, in the late 12thc. and early 13thc. At the same time an additional bell-stage was added to the tower. The footings of the nave walls, which had collapsed by 1720, can be seen in the graveyard to the W of the church.
- 6. St Mary, Shipley, Sussex, England
-
-
Parish church, originally preceptory (?) This is essentially a 12thc. church, comprising a nave with a N aisle (1893), a central tower with large, single bell openings and a square chancel. The N aisle and vestry were added by JL Pearson in 1893.
- 7. St Andrew, Steyning, Sussex, England
-
-
Formerly Collegiate church, now parish church This church comprises a W tower, a 12thc. aisled nave and a 19thc. chancel. The demolition of the medieval choir, transepts and central tower, dilapidated since the Dissolution, was begun in 1577 and completed in the 17thc. A new chancel and W tower, which occupies the site of the W bay(s) of the nave, were then constructed. What was lost at the E end must have been largely of early 12thc. date, judging from the surviving W piers and arch of the crossing and the E arches of the S and N aisles which formerly opened into the transepts. The nave was erected later in the 12thc. The present chancel is of the 19thc.
- 8. St Mary Magdalene, Tortington, Sussex, England
-
-
Parish church A small Norman church. Weather-boarded bell-cote over W end of nave; S aisle (early 13thc.; rebuiltc.1860) with Romanesque S doorway within gabled projection; chancel and N vestry (Victorian).
