More about this scene
Often described as one of the finest churches in the country, Worth church is a splendid and historic building. With Saxon foundations and cruciform in shape, the church dates from the 10th or early 11th century. To the right of this photograph is the lychgate, restored in 1956. Much of its timber was retained.
