Arlington Church

Arlington in Sussex is an enigma - a large church and churchyard serving a tiny hamlet. What happened here? This historical guide has the church as its focus, but explores the long history of the surrounding area along the way. The Saxons chose an unusual and difficult site - low, wet and densely wooded. They may have founded a river port here. The church's Norman chapel was probably built as part of the Canterbury pilgrimage cult. 102 pages, 49 black and white illustrations.
