DID YOU KNOW about a local church that dates back to the 12th century, that has a yew tree outside that is even older, probably going back to 1,600 years? Also inside, it has two beautiful 21st century windows, one commissioned to mark the Millenium, the other a 'Bees and Butterflies' window that was destroyed in a fire in 2002.
The church is at Wilmington, and is to get a special mention in an intriguing illustrated talk to be given by Christine Cooke at another church, St. Peter's in Belgrave Road, Seaford on Tuesday, June 3 at 2.30pm. This is the next in the series of East Blatchington Lectures to be given there.
Her subject is a number of Sussex churches that have a special attraction that many people may be unaware of, and she hopes that she can encourage her audience to be inspired enough to make a point of visiting them to see for themselves.
She will describe the alabaster Selwyn family monument that is to be found at Friston Church, and she'll mention another church which has a peal of five bells that can be rung from the vestry by one person with their fingers, and also has the pedestal of its font that was once used as a mounting block outside the Tiger in East Dean.
Admission to the talk is £7, which includes light refreshments. Tickets are available from the estate agents Newberry Tully, 53 Church Street or by phoning the church parish office on 01323 899054, to leave a message to book and to pay at the door.
There will be a change of subject for the next in this series, on Tuesday, July 1, when Charlie Grimble gives an illustrated talk about 'Sutton, the Forgotten Settlement'. It's a settlement that has Anglo-Saxon roots, and is therefore older than Seaford itself.
