Selmeston Church

An historical guide to Selmeston Church in Sussex and its setting.

The church looks like a medieval church, but was rebuilt from the ground up in the nineteenth century by the vicar, William Parish; his friend Lewis Carroll often stayed at the rectory opposite the church.

The history of the site goes back much further, to the first Saxon settlers, and before that to neolithic and mesolithic people, who had settlements within a hundred metres of the church.

This guide explores some of the historical enigmas. 101 pages, 47 black and white illustrations
