From the Wikipedia article
St Peter's Church is a protected Grade II listed Church of England parish church in the village of East Lavington, West Sussex, England. Situated on the northern slopes of the South Downs, the church is noted for its historic associations with the Oxford Movement and the Wilberforce family. The current structure was largely rebuilt between 1848 and 1850 by the Gothic Revival architect William Butterfield, commissioned by the then-Rector Henry Edward Manning. It remains an active place of worship within the United Benefice of Graffham with Upperton and East Lavington.

Background
Description
The church gained national significance in the 1830s and 1840s due to its association with the Oxford Movement (or Tractarianism). In 1833, Henry Edward Manning became the Rector of Lavington-with-Graffham following his marriage to Caroline Sargent, the daughter of the previous incumbent. During his tenure, Manning became a leading figure in the High Church movement, which sought to restore traditional Catholic liturgy and theology within the Anglican communion. Under his leadership, the parish became a focal point for these ecclesiastical changes.
