Sheep @ St John the Evangelist - Newtimber

            The church was built in the thirteenth century - some of the parishioners would have lived in the Saxon Settlement of Saddlescombe.

The Nave and chancel are Early English work although the walls were resurfaced and the windows renewed in the restoration of 1875.

The West Tower was built in 1839. A list of former rectors starting in 1270 can be seen on the south west wall of the nave..
The church and early C19 rectory stand in a wooded area under the Downs.  The village was always small and after an outbreak of plague in the early C17 (SAC 111 (1973) p71), Newtimber Place was emparked, which probably explains the lack of houses by the church .. Hassocks BN6 9BT
