Description
1864 by Scott & Suter. Scott designed St Bartholomew, Brighton ten years later. Flint with stone dressings and pitched clay tile roofs. Nave with polygonal apse. North aisle 1889 by Reginald Blomfield. Converted to a community centre in 2004 by Cliver Mercer, requiring floors to be inserted within the west portion and the loss of the original windows; the east portion remains a church with trefoil-headed lancet windows. Antram & Pevsner states that the Apse windows are by Ward & Hughes 1927, and two-light south window by Morris & Co., 1915. Source: Antram & Pevsner 2013.
A. Architectural, design and artistic interest
ii. A modest, yet well-executed example of a late 19th century church, which has been relatively sensitively part-converted to community use.
iv. Edmund E. Scott would go on to design St Bartholomew’s Church, Brighton. This church is, however, relatively conventional in comparison to St Bartholomew’s.
C. Townscape interest
ii. Not within a conservation area, the Church contributes positively to the streetscene
F. Intactness
i. Despite part-conversion, the design integrity of the building remains intact.
