List of places of worship in Lewes District

St Andrew's Church, the parish church of Bishopstone, is one of many Grade I-listed Anglican churches in the district of Lewes. The linear chancel–nave–tower form is found frequently in Sussex.^[1]

There are 69 extant churches and places of worship in the district of Lewes, one of five local government districts in the English county of East Sussex. A further 17 former places of worship are no longer in religious use. The area now covered by the district is mainly rural and characterised by small villages with ancient parish churches. The riverside market town of Lewes, the port of Newhaven and the seaside towns of Seaford, Peacehaven and Telscombe Cliffs are the main urban areas and have higher concentrations of religious buildings.

Most residents of the district identify themselves as Christian, and there are no places of worship serving any other religious groups. Many Christian denominations are represented—the town of Lewes in particular has a long-established history of Protestant Nonconformism—but the majority of churches serve the Church of England community.

English Heritage has awarded listed status to many of Lewes district's places of worship. 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.^[2] 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.^[3] 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".^[4]

Location of Lewes and its places of worship

Lewes district located within East Sussex

Lewes district covers 113 sq mi (290 km²) of the western part of East Sussex. The English Channel forms its southern boundary for 9 miles (14.5 km); four of the five largest towns in the district—Peacehaven, Telscombe Cliffs, Newhaven and Seaford—are on the coast. Lewes, the administrative centre of the district and the county town of East Sussex, lies inland in the centre of the district. The rest of the district is mostly rural.^[5] The city and unitary authority of Brighton and Hove lies to the southwest; the district of Mid Sussex, in the neighbouring county of West Sussex, is to the west; and Lewes's eastern boundary is with Wealden district.^[6][7]

The Rape of Lewes, one of the pre-Norman subdivisions of Sussex, had been granted by William the Conqueror to William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey, who had become a major landowner by the time of the Domesday survey in 1086.^[8] Outside the town of Lewes itself, most manors and villages had developed by the 12th century, and many of their associated churches date from that time—although the Victorian enthusiasm for church restoration had an effect throughout the district.

The town of Lewes enjoys a strategic position on the River Ouse and surrounded by hills. There is evidence of Anglo-Saxon habitation, and by the 10th century it had become the most important borough in Sussex.^[9] The oldest surviving church is St Anne's, the parish church, which is 12th-century. Other churches such as St Andrew's, St Martin's and St Mary-in-the-Market-Place declined and fell out of use by the Middle Ages, and their parishes were combined with others in the town.^[10] Nonconformism has been established in the town for more than three centuries: Unitarians, Methodists, Quakers, Baptists, Strict Baptists, Presbyterians and Congregationalists all founded chapels in the 18th or 19th centuries,^[10] many of which are still in operation. Newer denominations have also become established: Ian Paisley's Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster, most associated with Northern Ireland, founded one of its seven English congregations in the former Strict Baptist chapel in the Cliffe area of town.^[11][12] Ditchling and Wivelsfield were also associated with Nonconformist worship.^[13][14]

Religious affiliation

According to the 2001 United Kingdom Census, 92,177 people lived in Lewes district. Of these, 72.02% identified themselves as Christian, 0.44% were Muslim, 0.3% were Buddhist, 0.29% were Jewish, 0.15% were Hindu, 0.03% were Sikh, 0.4% followed another religion, 18.18% claimed no religious affiliation and 8.21% did not state their religion. The proportion of Christians was slightly higher than the 71.74% in England as a whole, while Buddhism and other religions not listed in the Census were also followed by more people than average. The proportion of people with no religious affiliation was much higher than the national figure of 14.59%, but there were fewer followers of Islam, Hinduism, Judaism and Sikhism in the district than in England overall: in 2001, 3.1% of people in England were Muslim, 1.1% were Hindu, 0.7% were Sikh and 0.5% were Jewish.^[15]

Administration

All Anglican churches in Lewes district are part of the Diocese of Chichester, whose cathedral is at Chichester in West Sussex.^[16] Three archdeaconries—Chichester, Horsham, and Lewes and Hastings—make up the next highest level of administration;^[17] the district has at least one church in each. St Laurence's Church in Falmer, which is part of a united parish with Stanmer Church across the border in the city of Brighton and Hove,^[18] is part of the Rural Deanery of Brighton,^[19] one of five deaneries in the Archdeaconry of Chichester.^[17] St Peter and St John the Baptist's Church at Wivelsfield is in the Rural Deanery of Cuckfield,^[20] and the churches at Ditchling, Streat and Westmeston are part of the Rural Deanery of Hurst;^[21] these are two of the eight deaneries in the Archdeaconry of Horsham.^[17] The Archdeaconry of Lewes and Hastings, which also has eight deaneries, is responsible for all other Anglican churches in the district. Except for the churches in Chailey and Newick, which are in the Rural Deanery of Uckfield,^[22] all are controlled by the Rural Deanery of Lewes and Seaford.^[23]

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Arundel and Brighton, whose cathedral is at Arundel,^[24] administers the four Roman Catholic churches in Lewes district. The diocese has 13 deaneries, each with several churches: Brighton and Hove Deanery's 13 churches include the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Peacehaven, Lewes Deanery controls St Pancras' Church at Lewes and five others outside the district, and Eastbourne Deanery is responsible for the Church of the Sacred Heart in Newhaven, St Thomas More Church in Seaford and eight churches in other districts of East Sussex.^[25]

The three United Reformed Church congregations, at Lewes,^[26] Seaford^[27] and Telscombe Cliffs,^[28] are in the Southern Synod—one of 13 Synods in Great Britain.^[29] The Synod is responsible for about 170 United Reformed churches in Kent, East Sussex, West Sussex and parts of Surrey.^[30] In September 2007, the United Reformed and Methodist churches in a large area of central Sussex came together to form a joint administrative group, the Central Sussex United Area.^[31] Member churches in Lewes district are Christ Church in Lewes, Chyngton Methodist Church and Cross Way Church in Seaford. St Michael's Anglican church in Newhaven is also involved.^[32]

It is one of three extant non-Anglican places of worship in the village.	[13][60] [61][62] [63]
Friends Meeting House		Ditchling 50°55′21″N 0°06′51″W / 50.9225°N 0.1142°W	Quaker	–	This small meeting house in the centre of Ditchling serves the village and nearby settlements such as Hassocks and Burgess Hill.	[61][64] [65]

The boxlike, pedimented cobbled flint and ashlar building has a large cupola containing a bell. Pevsner disliked its stained glass, and the church has been criticised as "being in bad taste".

St Nicholas' Church		Iford 50°50′54″N 0°00′03″W / 50.8484°N 0.0007°W	Anglican	I	Victorian restoration has not disguised the 12th-century origins of this small village's church, which stands on the site of a Norman predecessor recorded in the Domesday survey of 1086. The flint structure is long and narrow; the oldest part is the nave, which is separated from the chancel by a substantial, short tower topped by a shingled spire. The windows (mostly lancets) and a piscina are also original. A former north aisle has now vanished.	[88][89] [90]
