More about this scene
Dedicated to the local saint, and often called 'the Cathedral of the Weald', it was built of local yellow sandstone in the mid 15th century, and was restored during the 19th century. The south wall of the tower has an impressive clock, with the figure of Father Time, supposedly paid for out of the profits from the parish farm, which was ostensibly operated for the benefit of the unemployed during the Napoleonic wars. Above the porch is a parvise, or priest's room, said to have been used as a prison during the persecutions of Mary Tudor.
