East Hoathly, The Church c.1960

More about this scene
Hoathly is an Anglo-Saxon place name meaning 'heather-covered clearing'. It has a medieval parish church in the western part of the village, but all is not as it seems in this view from the east. Only the squat, battlemented tower is medieval, a 15th-century one paid for by the Pelham family of Halland. The rest is mostly an 1856 rebuild, with the flat-roofed vestry at the right added in 1901 and a lychgate (out of view to the left) in 1883. The churchyard is now trimmer, and much heather has been planted, possibly in honour of the village name.
