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.
- 2. Broadwater (Worthing), Sussex, England
-

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, Sompting, Sussex, England
-
-
Parish Church The church comprises a continuous chancel and nave, a N transept with an E aisle, a S transept (originally a separate chapel) with an E chapel and S porch, and a W tower capped by a 14thc. `Rhenish Helm'. The tower was erected in three 11thc. campaigns: the lower stage is pre-Conquest, the first and second storeysc.1066-80 and the third storeyc.1080-1100. A N doorway demonstrates that vestiges of the nave belong to the first half of the 12thc., but the transepts and chancel were erected after 1154, when the church was acquired by the Templars. The church underwent extensive restorations in 1853, when most of the internal masonry was scraped under R.C. Carpenter. The interior contains a number of fragments ascribed to the 11thc., and a plain 12thc. font.
