TQ5203 : Church of The Good Shepherd, Lullington

taken 8 years ago, near to Alfriston, East Sussex, England

Church of The Good Shepherd, Lullington
Church of The Good Shepherd, Lullington
Grade I listed.
The dedication is unknown, but now dedicated to The Good Shepherd. Although often described as the smallest church in England, it is actually the remains of a larger 12th Century one, the partial foundations of which can still be seen. Excavations revealed it had a tower, nave and chancel which makes up the current church. The rest of the church disappeared in late 17th C. due to collapse or simply cost of upkeep for the tiny population.
A traditional boarded belfry with a shingled broach spirelet with one bell was added in 19th C.
Church seats 20, and there is no electricity, so a harmonium is used.
