Harrison's description (1911):

Restored in 1876-7. This pretty church, E.E., with Perp. additions, has the magnificent brass to Thomas Nelond, Prior of Lewes, 1433. The brass, 10 feet long, is a splendid state of preservation and effectively protected by a padlocked covering. The effigy of the prior is in the dress of a Cluniac monk standing with folded hands beneath an arch, protected by the Virgin and Child, S. Pancras and St. Thomas-à-Becket. The font is Perp. with peculiar ornamental panelling. The three original lancets in the chancel have old stained glass. The aisle and arcade with depressed arches were built in Henry VIII's reign. Note traces of older windows. The old porch is picturesque. Reg. 1558.
