-

- 2. St Richard, Aldwick, Sussex, England
-
-
Parish church This Gothic style church was designed by F G Troup and built in 1933. It was described by Nairn as 'the most debilitated kind of Gothic Revival . . . Horrible' (Nairn and Pevsner 1965, 79). There is no medieval fabric.
- 3. St Andrew, Bishopstone, Sussex, England

- 5. St Mary, Eastbourne, Sussex, England
-
-
Parish church This is an unusually large parish church, with a W tower, an aisled nave with five-bay arcades, and an aisled choir with three-bay arcades. The W bay of the nave is clearly a later addition, possibly built with the tower,c.1300. The aisles have an alternating system of round and octagonal piers, with slightly pointed arches carved with complex mouldings (including chevron, fillets, hollows and keel mouldings), and capitals displaying a wide variety of motifs including upright and wind-blown stiff-leaf, and crockets. With the exception of the chevron, this repertoire is Early English in character rather than Romanesque. The presence of the chevron makes it 'Transitional'.
