| Information | |
St Mary's Church is a small, ancient church standing in Chithurst in Sussex. The church dates to the 11th century,[1] and today is a Grade I listed building.[2]
This is one of the smallest of churches recorded in Taylor & Taylor's Anglo-Saxon Architecture. It exhibits Saxon features in the proportions, the thinness of the walls, a splayed window in the south chancel wall, long-and-short work quoins with large shaped stones, and some herringbone work in the stone rubble masonry of the walls. It consists of nave and chancel which show these signs of construction in the Anglo-Saxon era, later west porch and bell turret.
