The district of Rother, one of six local government districts in the English county of East Sussex, has more than 120 current and former places of worship. As of {{CURRENTYEAR}}, 87 active churches and chapels serve the mostly rural area, and a further 38 former places of worship still stand but are no longer in religious use. The district's main urban centres—the Victorian seaside resort of Bexhill-on-Sea and the ancient inland towns of Battle and Rye—have many churches, some of considerable age. Others serve villages and hamlets scattered across the Wealden hills and marshes of the district. Even small settlements have parish churches serving the Church of England, the country's state religion. Roman Catholicism is less well established than in neighbouring West Sussex, but Protestant Nonconformist denominations have been prominent for centuries. Methodism was especially popular in the area: many chapels were built in the 18th and 19th centuries, although some have since closed. The majority of the population is Christian, and a Buddhist centre in Bexhill-on-Sea is the only non-Christian place of worship.

Dozens of buildings have been awarded listed status by English Heritage in recognition of their architectural and historical interest. These range from the Saxon-era parish churches in villages such as Beckley and Guestling to the Mediterranean-style Romanesque Revival St Anthony of Padua Church in Rye, built in the 1920s. Likewise, chapels as simple as the cottage-like former Bethel Chapel in Robertsbridge and as elaborate as the "rich and fruity" neighbouring United Reformed Church have been listed.

Various administrative areas operated by the Church of England, the Roman Catholic Church, the United Reformed Church, Baptists and Methodists cover churches in the district which are part of their denomination. These areas include dioceses, archdeaconries, networks and circuits.

Overview of the district and its places of worship

Rother district occupies about {{convert|200|sqmi|sqkm}} of the eastern part of the county of East Sussex.[1] It is one of five districts and boroughs in the county; it shares its western boundary with the district of Wealden, and surrounds the borough of Hastings to the south.[2] The neighbouring county of Kent forms the northern and eastern border. The district is named after the River Rother, which enters the English Channel at Rye.[1] Approximately 90,000 people live in the district, of whom about half are residents of the largest town and administrative centre, Bexhill-on-Sea. The only other towns, both with ancient origins, are Rye and Battle. The rest of the district is mostly undulating High Wealden countryside punctuated with small, historic villages.[1]

Sussex—the Kingdom of the South Saxons—was one of the last parts of England to be Christianised. It was isolated from other parts of the country because of the thick forest that covered it. When St Wilfrid and his missionaries brought Christianity to the area in the 7th century, they arrived by sea.[3] The new religion quickly spread; the longest established churches in the present Rother area are apparently St Peter's Church in Bexhill's old town and All Saints Church at Icklesham, both founded in 772 (but no 8th-century fabric remains at either location).[6][7] Many more churches were built in the Saxon era, but most were either superseded by larger Norman buildings between the 11th and 13th centuries—as at Sedlescombe[8] and Whatlington[7]—or substantially added to, as at Icklesham.[10] Many places also gained their first church during this period, and the size and opulence of some (such as Ticehurst[11] and Salehurst)[12] reflect the area's iron-industry wealth at the time.[11] Nevertheless, some parishes were initially very large: for example, both Bodiam and Etchingham were served from Salehurst parish church until their own churches were built in the 14th century.[14][4]

By the 19th century, few villages lacked an Anglican church, and attention turned to restoring and reconstructing ancient buildings—although places such as Hurst Green,[16] Netherfield,[17] Staplecross[18] and Telham[19] did receive churches of their own, often built as chapels of ease to distant parish churches. Some ancient churches still retain most of their medieval fabric and appearance, but churches such as Dallington,[20] Northiam[5] and Sedlescombe[22] were so comprehensively rebuilt in the mid-19th century that they now have a largely Victorian appearance. (Wholesale restoration of churches in the then-fashionable Gothic Revival style was a common and much criticised practice during the Victorian era.)[6] In the 20th century, Anglican churches continued to be provided as residential development spread along the English Channel coast east of Hastings. Building styles varied: at Winchelsea Beach, old-fashioned brick, timber and tile-hanging were used in 1962;[24] at Fairlight Cove, a square wooden box-like structure, intended to be both temporary and portable, has stood since 1970;[25] in Camber, the 1956 replacement for a bombed-out chapel of ease is in an old-fashioned early-20th-century style;[26][27] and at Cliff End on Pett Level an unusual building was purchased and reused. The Admiralty installed a Lifesaving Rocket Apparatus Station on the beach; in 1935 it was converted into the tiny St Nicholas' Church.[28]

After the English Reformation, Roman Catholic worship was illegal in England for nearly 250 years until 1791,[7] and it grew slowly thereafter in comparison to West Sussex, where many large estates were owned by gentry who secretly kept the faith over many generations.[8] Ill-feeling towards Catholics apparently persisted well into the 19th century in Battle, where the 1886 Church of Our Lady Immaculate and St Michael was set well back from the street (in the garden of its presbytery) and does not have an ecclesiastical appearance.[31] In the early 20th century, bolder architectural statements were made with the Gothic Revival church at Bexhill-on-Sea and the elaborate Italian Romanesque-style church at Rye, both of which are listed buildings.[32][33] Most of the other Roman Catholic churches in Rother district are simple mid-20th-century buildings, sometimes with distinguishing architectural features such as a modernistic portico-style entrance at Sidley,[34] dalle de verre glass at Burwash[35] and a Mediterranean-style blank-arcaded tower at Little Common.[36]

Many Protestant Nonconformist denominations are represented by churches and chapels in the district—most prominently Methodism, whose chapels are found in many villages, although many have closed (Methodist worship has been in decline nationwide since the early 20th century).[9] John Wesley himself was a frequent visitor to the area, and the church he founded at Rye in 1789 was the administrative base of a vast Circuit covering much of Sussex and Kent.[38] His last ever outdoor sermon was preached beneath a tree near Winchelsea Methodist Chapel.[39][10] Rye was a hotbed of Nonconformist worship: a religious census in 1676 found 300 Nonconformists in the town, more than ten times as many as in the much larger parish of Salehurst, which had the next highest number.[11] In 1847, chapels existed for Methodists, Presbyterians, Independents, Baptists, Quakers and Unitarians;[12] Congregationalists, the Salvation Army and Jehovah's Witnesses also set up places of worship in the town later; and the Baptists split into several groups and have occupied five buildings over the years—all of which still stand.[13]

Religious affiliation

According to the 2001 United Kingdom Census, 85,428 people lived in Rother. Of these, 76.5% identified themselves as Christian, 0.64% were Muslim, 0.15% were Jewish, 0.18% were Buddhist, 0.14% were Hindu, 0.03% were Sikh, 0.35% followed another religion, 13.91% claimed no religious affiliation and 8.1% did not state their religion. The proportion of Christians was higher than the 72.8% in England as a whole. Most other religions had much lower proportions of followers than in England overall—the corresponding national percentages were 3.1% for Islam, 1.11% for Hinduism, 0.67% for Sikhism, 0.52% for Judaism—but the proportion identifying with the "any other religion" category was higher than the national figure of 0.29%. Rother also had a lower proportion of people with no religious affiliation than average for England (14.59%).[14]

Administration

All Anglican churches in Rother district are part of the Diocese of Chichester, whose cathedral is at Chichester,[15] and the Lewes and Hastings Archdeaconry—one of three subdivisions which make up the next highest level of administration.[16] In turn, this archdeaconry is divided into eight deaneries.[16] The churches at Flimwell, Stonegate and Ticehurst are in the Rural Deanery of Rotherfield.[17] The Rural Deanery of Rye covers 23 churches in the district: Beckley, Bodiam, Brede, Camber, East Guldeford, Ewhurst Green, Fairlight, Fairlight Cove, Guestling, Icklesham, Iden, Northiam, Peasmarsh, Pett, Pett Level, Playden, Rye, Rye Harbour, Staplecross, Udimore, Westfield, Winchelsea and Winchelsea Beach.[18] Those at Brightling, Burwash, Burwash Common, Dallington, Etchingham, Hurst Green, Mountfield, Netherfield, Robertsbridge and Salehurst are part of the Rural Deanery of Dallington.[19] The Rural Deanery of Battle and Bexhill administers the churches at Ashburnham, Battle, Catsfield, Crowhurst, Penhurst, Sedlescombe, Telham and Whatlington, the six churches in Bexhill-on-Sea and those in the suburbs of Little Common and Sidley.[20]

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Arundel and Brighton, whose cathedral is at Arundel,[21] administers the district's six Roman Catholic churches. The churches at Battle, Bexhill-on-Sea, Little Common, Northiam (Horn's Cross), Rye and Sidley are all part of St Leonards-on-Sea Deanery.[22] Those at Little Common and Sidley are served as Mass Centres from St Mary Magdalene's Church in Bexhill-on-Sea.[23]

The Hastings, Bexhill and Rye Methodist Circuit, a 13-church administrative area, covers eight Methodist churches in Rother—at Battle, Bexhill-on-Sea (Christchurch, Little Common and Sackville Road), Brede (Trinity), Pett, Rye and Winchelsea.[24]

The four United Reformed Churches in the district, at Ashburnham, Bexhill-on-Sea, Robertsbridge and Sedlescombe, are part of the West Kent and East Sussex Synod Area of the Church. This is a group of 32 churches within the Southern Synod region.[25]

Of the five extant Baptist churches in the district, four are administratively part of the East Sussex Network of the South Eastern Baptist Association: the churches at Battle, Rye and Sidley, and Beulah Baptist Church in Bexhill-on-Sea.[26] The Bethel Strict Baptist Chapel at Rye is affiliated with the Gospel Standard movement.[27]

Listed status

English Heritage has awarded listed status to more than 50 current and former church buildings in Rother. A building is defined as "listed" when it is placed on a statutory register of buildings of "special architectural or historic interest" in accordance with the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.[28] The Department for Culture, Media and Sport, a Government department, is responsible for this; English Heritage, a non-departmental public body, acts as an agency of the department to administer the process and advise the department on relevant issues.[29] There are three grades of listing status. Grade I, the highest, is defined as being of "exceptional interest"; Grade II* is used for "particularly important buildings of more than special interest"; and Grade II, the lowest, is used for buildings of "special interest".[30] As of February 2001, there were 40 Grade I-listed buildings, 75 with Grade II* status and 1,991 Grade II-listed buildings in Rother.[31]

Living Word Church{{coord>50.8442|0.4612|name=Living Word Church, Bexhill-on-Sea}}Assemblies of God{{sort|D|–A place of worship has stood here since 1898, but the present brick and roughcast building (replacing the original corrugated iron structure) dates from 1949 and 1957. Under the name Hamilton Halls and Bexhill Christian Assembly, it was registered in 1935 and used by Plymouth Brethren for many years, but is now an Assemblies of God Pentecostal church.[128][85]
[86][87]
Beulah Baptist Church{{coord>50.8420|0.4740|name=Beulah Baptist Church, Bexhill-on-Sea}}Baptist{{sort|D|–The Baptist cause came late to Bexhill: attempts by the church in Hastings to establish a congregation faltered in the 1870s, and only when Charles Spurgeon's widow became involved was progress made. She bought land on Clifford Road, commissioned Resta Moore to design a church and brought in the first pastor, who served for 30 years. Moore's Early English red-brick building of 1896–97 has a corner tower.[78][88]
[89][90]
Maitreya Buddhist Centre{{coord>50.8408|0.4774|name=Maitreya Buddhist Centre, Bexhill-on-Sea}}Buddhist{{sort|D|–This venue opened in December 2005 in the centre of Bexhill, and offers meditation, courses relating to Buddhism and worship facilities. It follows the Kadampa tradition.[91][92]

[95][96]
Kingdom Hall{{coord>50.8408|0.4677|name=Kingdom Hall, Bexhill-on-Sea}}Jehovah's Witnesses{{sort|D|–The town's original Kingdom Hall occupied part of a building in Station Road and was licensed for marriages between September 1956 and July 1982. From that month a new single-storey rendered building on Terminus Road (registered in April 1983) replaced it. This was in turn replaced by the present building on the same site in 2010. It serves the Little Common and Pebsham Congregations.[97][98]
[144][99]
[100]
Friends Meeting House{{coord>50.8385|0.4732|name=Friends Meeting House, Bexhill-on-Sea}}Quaker{{sort|D|–The catalyst for the founding of a Friends meeting house in Bexhill was a bus strike in 1957 which prevented local Quakers travelling to Eastbourne or Hastings. A house was used for worship at first, but in 1965 the congregation acquired land at 15A Albert Road (previously the site of a Plymouth Brethren meeting room) and the brick meeting house was completed in November of that year.[94][101]
[102][103]

Bexhill Christian Spiritualist Church{{coord>50.8421|0.4686|name=Bexhill Christian Spiritualist Church, Bexhill-on-Sea}}Spiritualist{{sort|D|–This congregation has moved to Victoria Road in Bexhill-on-Sea; originally it occupied part of a building in Station Road, which was registered for the solemnisation of marriages between June 1975 and January 1985. The present church was registered for worship in January 1985 and for marriages eight years later.[108][109]
[110]
St George's Church{{coord>50.8403|0.4842|name=St George's Church, Bexhill-on-Sea}}United Reformed{{sort|D|–This was originally a Presbyterian church; the cause was associated with St Columba's Church in St Leonards-on-Sea. Some members of its congregation moved to Bexhill and started meeting at a building in Station Road. The 8th Earl de la Warr provided land on Cantelupe Road, and G.H. Gray's Perpendicular Gothic Revival flint and stone church opened in 1901.[78][111]
[112][113]
[114]
St Giles' Church{{coord>51.0074|0.5392|name=St Giles' Church, Bodiam}}Anglican{{sort|B|II*This mostly 14th-century church is almost hidden in a wooded area north of the village and its castle. Richard Cromwell Carpenter undertook a thorough restoration in 1845–46, but the original Early English chancel and Perpendicular Gothic tower remain. Prominent exterior features include a steep catslide aisle roof and a 19th-century porch.[115][116]

St George's Church{{coord>50.9349|0.5964|name=St George's Church, Brede}}Anglican{{sort|A|IMonks from Fécamp Abbey in Normandy founded a church on this site in 1180, but little 12th-century fabric remains: over the next 300 years north and south aisles, a new chancel and a battlemented tower were added, and the present appearance is entirely Perpendicular Gothic. The intricate tracery of the east window has continental European influences.[121][122]
[123][124]
[125][126]
St Thomas a Becket's Church{{coord>50.9639|0.3961|name=St Thomas a Becket's Church, Brightling}}Anglican{{sort|A|IThis 13th-century church is famous for the gigantic pyramid in its churchyard: it houses the remains of the eccentric Squire of Brightling "Mad Jack" Fuller. The church is an Early English structure with a short castellated tower, Decorated Gothic windows and a mid-18th century gabled porch.[127][128]

St Bartholomew's Church{{coord>50.9977|0.3887|name=St Bartholomew's Church, Burwash}}Anglican{{sort|C|IIThe thick-walled tower survives from the original church, built in 1090. Most of the structure was reconstructed in 1856: the chancel was completely renewed, although its 13th-century arch survives. In the south aisle, a 14th-century cast-iron memorial slab is the oldest in England; Burwash was a centre of the Wealden iron industry.[138][139]
[140][141]
[142]
Church of Christ the King{{coord>50.9975|0.3814|name=Church of Christ the King, Burwash}}Roman Catholic{{sort|D|–A Roman Catholic church dedicated to St Joseph stood outside the village from 1887 until 1989; in about 1968, the small brick and concrete Church of Christ the King was built in a more central position. The "modest" structure has an apsidal sanctuary and dalle de verre windows designed at Buckfast Abbey.[143][144]
[145]
St Philip's Church{{coord>50.9889|0.3350|name=St Philip's Church, Burwash Common}}Anglican{{sort|D|–Described as "a serious job" by Nikolaus Pevsner, this stone church dates from 1867 and was designed by the partnership of William Slater and Richard Herbert Carpenter. It was their only newly built church, but they were prolific church restorers. There are lancet windows, a bellcote and a vaulted apse.[144][146]
[147]
St Thomas the Apostle's Church{{coord>50.9366|0.7948|name=St Thomas the Apostle's Church, Camber}}Anglican{{sort|D|–In 1944, a flying bomb demolished the chapel of ease to East Guldeford church which had served the small seaside resort of Camber since 1906. The new church, a "nice and neat", early-20th-century style brick building with weatherboarding and tile-hanging, was designed by L. Keir Hett. Many fittings were retrieved from the old church.[148][149]
[150]
St Laurence's Church{{coord>50.8939|0.4565|name=St Laurence's Church, Catsfield}}Anglican{{sort|B|II*Catsfield's "humble" and ancient Anglican church, outside the village next to the manor house, contrasts with the centrally-placed former Methodist church, whose huge spire dominates the village. St Laurence's nave is 10th- and 11th-century, with early Norman herringbone masonry, but the north aisle is an 1845 addition by Richard Cromwell Carpenter.[151][152]
[153][154]
[155]
St Nicholas' Church{{coord>50.8894|0.6869|name=St Nicholas' Church, Cliff End, Pett}}Anglican{{sort|D|–This tiny building was erected by the Admiralty at this coastal location as a Lifesaving Rocket Apparatus Station—a safety device intended to rescue shipwrecked sailors. It was bought by the Diocese of Chichester and opened as a church on 26 April 1935. The whitewashed structure has a timber porch dating from 1959.[156][157]
St Augustine's Church{{coord>50.8373|0.4558|name=St Augustine's Church, Cooden, Bexhill-on-Sea}}Anglican{{sort|D|–William H. Randoll Blacking's red-brick, Free-style Gothic Revival church was extended between 1960 and 1963 by H. Hubbard Ford and consecrated in May 1963. It occupies a spacious site surrounded by houses built for retired clergy, erected in 1957. John Skelton provided a sculpture of St Augustine which stands in a niche above the door.[73][74]

St George's Church{{coord>50.8838|0.4969|name=St George's Church, Crowhurst}}Anglican{{sort|A|IWilliam Milford Teulon, brother of the better-known architect Samuel Sanders Teulon, redesigned the church in a 13th-/14th-century Gothic style in 1856, but the short, substantial 15th-century tower and its Perpendicular Gothic window remain. A yew tree in the churchyard is apparently the oldest and largest in Sussex.[159][160]
[161][162]
[163][164]
Crowhurst Chapel{{coord>50.8787|0.4993|name=Crowhurst Chapel, Crowhurst}}Pentecostal{{sort|D|–This red-brick gabled chapel was built in 1884 for a Wesleyan Methodist congregation. It was still in use by Methodists until 1990, but in September 1991 it was re-registered for a Pentecostal group called the Crowhurst Chapel Fellowship.[159][165]
[166][167]
[168]
St Giles' Church{{coord>50.9471|0.3586|name=St Giles' Church, Dallington}}Anglican{{sort|B|II*The original dedication was to St Margaret; the change apparently came in the 17th century. As at Crowhurst, a mid-19th-century Gothic Revival nave and chancel has been matched to a 15th-century Perpendicular Gothic tower. The original building, of which nothing survives, was 13th-century. The stone spire is one of three in Sussex.[159][169]
