St Mary
Ticehurst, Sussex
Records from the 12th century mention a church at Ticehurst, but the present building is thought to have been built by Sir William de Etchingham after completing nearby Etchingham church in the 1370s.
A very fine Grade I listed church built around 1370 in water meadows, it was originally moated.
Etchingham, Sussex
The church is mainly 14th century, built by Sir William de Etchingham, Lord of the Manor. The church was orignally contained within the Manor's grounds and moat, but the railway station now stands in the place of the long since disappeared Manor building.
Following a devastating flood in 2000, the church has been restored and fortunately made a full recovery. It has what is probably the oldest brass weathervane in England, still in its original position on top of the tower.

St Thomas a Becket church is mentioned in the Domesday Book and dates from the 12th century which leads many to believe that the church was probably redecated to Thomas a Beckett at a later date.
