Background

History

The earliest written evidence of a church at Ticehurst is a reference to 'Adam, Presbyter de Tychenherste' in a document dated 1180 and portions of the building date as early as the 13th century as identified by the faces of the tower, but since then there has been significant restoration and alteration.

Description

In the late 19th Century crenellations were added to the side walls, porch and turret. In 1856 the chancel was rebuilt from nearly ground level. The sanctuary has two notable stained glass windows: the north window contains medieval glass taken from the original east window and depicts a ‘doom’ while the present east window dates to 1879, the central light of which won a prize at the Paris exhibition of 1878.
