St Nicholas
Worth, Sussex
One of the most powerful of Anglo Saxon churches in England, large in scale and bold in conception.
This hut is still in existence but is now operating as a charity shop, which the church actively supports.
The first, brick, church building was completed in 1955 and over the years has had a couple extensions added. Even though the additions improved the original 1955 building, by today’s standards it was an inefficient and draughty building, but nevertheless with a faithful and loving congregation.
In 2015, we embarked on major regeneration works making the church an inviting and comfortable place, not only for the worshipping congregation but also for the whole community which use our premises for meetings and local social events.
Although we may not be ‘picturesque’ in the traditional sense, as so many older churches are, what we may lack in visual prettiness is more than compensated by our determination to welcome and love every soul who come through our doors. Nevertheless, our exterior is very striking and some people have been known to call it the ‘gold’ church due to the partial copper cladding.
