More about this scene
High up on the Sussex border stands this ornate Victorian church, whose building was initiated by Viscount Beresford in 1839, but was then taken on by his twenty-year-old stepson Alexander Beresford Hope. He augmented the stone broach spire with lucarnes, and the length of the church roof with a pierced parapet. Over the ensuing five years he also enriched the interior with a riot of colour, featuring painted wood, stone, glass and tiles. The Beresford family tombs are in the churchyard, overlooked by the gargoyles on the tower and the groups of yew trees.
