Traces of the original Nor. church may be seen on N. wall of nave. Chancel has triplet of lancets, with detached marble shafts and rich mouldings; two low-side windows of lancet shapel two piscinæ; aumbry. Note position of squint combined with low-side window; steps to rood-loft; part of old oak screen; some old tiles; a flat slab of Sussex marble with floreated cross; old chair in chancel; old pew with crude poppy heads. Font, square, late Nor. There is a 14th c. bell.

South of the church is a farm house, having the remains of a massive square Perp. tower, originally intended, it is said, for a castle, but royal permission being withheld the materials were used to build the campanile of Chichester.
