St Michael, Newhaven, Sussex - 2nd January 2004

This church is now shared by the Anglican and Methodist communities in Newhaven - a great example of Christians working together.

The church is set up high from the road, and getting a good photo was tricky, especially in the dull January light but was locked - so no internal photographs.

The present nave dates from 1854.

St Michael, Newhaven, Sussex - 2nd January 2004 - MTC

The apsidal chancel and the tower, which is between the chancel and nave, show a French influence.  They are 12th century and are of a type which is more common in Normandy than England, although there are a few Sussex examples.  There is more decoration, such as the fine corbel work under the spire, than is usual in Sussex village churches.
