The surviving north wall is of Norman style herringbone stonework, with two round arched doorways filled in to make lancet windows. Read more..

Christmas Donations
The Midhurst Foodbank are desperate for groceries to help others less fortunate than ourselves, have a happy Christmas. Maybe when you are out food shopping you could add an extra something to your trolley (anything Christmas related) and donate it to our collection basket. If we all gave just one thing it could make such a difference.
Church Choir
If anyone would like to join the choir on a regular or occasional basis, or knows anyone who would like to do so, please contact Chris or drop him a line (see Who’s Who section). The choir rehearses every Thursday evening except the first Thursday in the month. No experience necessary - all are welcome.
