More about this scene
All Saints' Church looks out over the marshes by Church Farm, and stands at the west gates to the castle (not now the public entrance, which is from the Wartling Road). Its square tower with an oak-shingled spire is of about 1190. Much of the church is rendered, with the chancel and east chapel in 15th-century Flemish brick, probably built at the same time as the castle itself. Indeed, inside are monuments to the Fiennes family. The main village migrated or grew up along the main Bexhill-Hailsham road over a mile away, giving the church the feel of being the lord of the manor's private chapel.
